For the Kindle people coming in…

Recent Kindle convert here, my Oasis was my all time favourite device (gifted to my wife now). The Libra is an amazing successor AND I don’t have to deal with Amazon anymore.

Kobo Screen

I'm sorry OP this sucks and I'm sure you'll make the best decision. The Kobo's are better but they feel more fragile to me and my KLC lives on my bed and still use my Oasis as my outside reader since they built that model tough and still think it was the last good kindle.

Recomendación de kindle

Yo tengo uno. Paperwhite es el punto calidad precio de los Kindle, viene con todo lo mínimo e indispensable, con características extra (luz, resistencia al agua, pantalla grande), sin llegar a las características premium de las gamas más altas (Oasis, con botones y pantalla aún más grande). Es lo má

E reader recs (RANT)

Amazon is gross, but my Kindle Oasis (2019?) is incredible. Buy a kindle used from eBay and use a DRM-free source like bookshop.org + your local library. Kobo is owned by another huge company (Rakuten) so I don't know if it's worth the hassle of making the switch.

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle?

I'm a button snob. I had a Kindle Voyage for 10 years that has the button like press areas. Would have loved an Oasis, but they were too rich for me. I sideload all my books, and Amazon likes to remove sideloaded books from devices. I often would be halfway through a book to find it was gone when I

What's the best simple book focused e-reader (not Kindle)

Lo que los hace superiores es la calidad de los materiales y la construcción. Si tienes en mano un paperwhite y un clara, la balanza se inclina muchísimo a favor del paperwhite Luego tienes lo fácil y rápido que es para cargarle libros y documentos personales. Al contrario de lo que dice la gente… d

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

Also have KU and read 50-60 books a year. I splashed out on a Kindle Oasis (sad they don't make it anymore) because it had warm light and physical buttons. £220 or something. Crazy expense for a device that does one thing. But man, I read almost every day and it's been 6 years since I got it.

Starting in May, pre-2013 Kindles won't be able to buy or download new books

I’ve never bought a new kindle in my life. I always just buy one for $20 on eBay and jailbreak it to get rid of the ads then manually load books, then give it away to friends and family when I find someone that would put it to good use and repeat the cycle.. I got my Oasis with a nice leather cover

For the first time ever, Amazon is cutting old Kindles off from the Kindle Store

I have an Oasis too and it's definitely the best of the modern kindles but I still really like the kindle keyboard. I don't buy books from Amazon anymore either (and have previous purchases backed up) and am comfortable loading with a cable but I feel bad for everyone that uses the older devices exc
