Kindle Oasis

I’ve had three Kindles over the years and the Oasis that I got in 2017 is still my primary device, so I’m certainly not anti-Kindle. Would I get another one though once my Oasis dies? Nope. Reasons are many - not a fan of Amazon’s practices; my Oasis has excellent hardware but I don’t like the book

It depends on each person's use case, so I'll explain why kobo works for ME better than kindle. Amazon discontinued the kindle oasis and I didn't want to get a device without buttons. Kindle doesn't support Canadian libraries, but kobo has overdrive integration. Kindle's UI is horrible, the home pag

As of a year or two ago you can't download ebooks you buy from Amazon, and you can't get them off the Kindle either. Your library is thus tied to whatever Amazon do to their e-readers, and since I bought my first in 2011 the software has got constantly worse. The Pocketbook Era Lite (which I moved t

I also heard Kindle gives you ads - is that true? Amazon serves it as offering an ad-supported Kindle for a cheaper price - if you’re OK with getting lockscreen ads, you pay less to buy the Kindle.

Oh really? The newer kindles can't keep libby books past 14 days either? I was about to upgrade my kindle to a newer one (possibly the oasis), but if it cant keep libby books like my voyage can I'll hold off on upgrading. I also have a kobo clara colour i enjoy using but sucks that the libby hack do

J'ai déjà eu une kindle (paperwhite 4, acheté en 2019). J'ai changé en 2022 pour une kobo libra 2, et bah je conseille à tout le monde de faire pareil.

I would sell my left leg for a kindle oasis if it weren't amazon-ified.

I owned a Kindle Oasis 2 from 2018. One day, I logged out of my Amazon account, only to realize I couldn’t remember the exact login details I had used all those years ago. After countless failed attempts to recover it, I eventually gave up and created a new account just so I could use my Oasis again
