Am I missing anything about the Kindle devices?
Lots of reasons, really. Some people are simply tired of Amazon’s near-monopoly (they’ve worked hard to ensure many people don’t even realise other ereaders exist that aren’t Kindles), or they don’t like Amazon as a company. Some people have genuine issues with Send to Kindle - if you want/need to r

Recent new drm on kindles
I mean, a couple people posted a few days ago having this issue. I know at least one of them I suggested creating a log and posting to the nodrm github. And I know that on the github, at least 2 separate posts had the same problem with 5.16.2.1.1 and the nodrm mod was able to reproduce the same prob

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry
I went from a Kindle Oasis and Paperwhite to a Kobo Libra Colour, and I love it. The color isn't anything amazing, but I really enjoy reading on it and it's big enough that I can read comics (though I do sometimes have to zoom in). i think the text on the Kobo Clara Colour would be too small for com

People going back to physical books because of Amazon removing downloads?
Would add to this that you don’t actually need to buy a new e-reader to get out of the Amazon webstore ecosystem. You can buy your books from elsewhere and just use Send to Kindle to get them on to your existing device. No jailbreak needed. I use both an Oasis and a Palma, and use the Kindle app on

PSA: all Kindles Jailbreakable
I have been toying with getting a Kobo but my Oasis isn’t that old and I like my buttons. I don’t like the Amazon ecosystem and I pretty much exclusively side load all my books now. I have had my Kindle delete books off itself several times (assuming it’s Amazon’s doing). I think jailbreaking it wou

Feeling conflicted switching to Kobo
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

Unpopular Opinion about Switching from Kindle to Kobo
Yo tampoco la entiendo Tengo dos Kobo que me encantan (al igual que mis Kindle), pero se me complica cargarles libros… por qué se complica si con calibre es tan fácil? Por eso. Porque tengo que llegar a mi casa, sentarme en el ordenador y enviarlos a los Kobo (uno por uno) para que se me puedan sinc

What is so bad about Boox ereaders?
I just got a Boox (Go 7) and I'm loving it. I still have my Kindle Oasis and plan to keep it until it breaks, but I love the freedom of not being strapped to Amazon with the Boox. Much easier to sideload books, I can still read my Kindle books, and I can read comics on Firefox, or comic apps. That s

which e reader should I get (kobo/kindle) or should I even get one at all?
Regarding book selection / availability - you can just browse the respective store websites, maybe browse by favourite genres or search for authors you know - see if they have them. Amazon’s larger selection is largely due to their business model where they demand exclusivity from self-published (“i

Amazon is killing off perfectly functioning Kindles for no reason other than being old
I'm glad you don't have issues with it, mine refuses to read them at all or makes the text very small in the center of the screen, no matter what I choose in settings. Not sure what model it is because I received it as a gift, I think it's called oasis? I might be wrong. I haven't jailbroken it yet
