Ditch the Kindle

You'll have to pry my Kindle Oasis from my cold, dead hands.

The Kindle Oasis was peak e-reader

I can’t tell you you’re wrong because I believe you are right. I love my Oasis, and I’m sad that there’s no way to replace it when it dies, unless Amazon comes to their senses and brings it back. The buttons are crisp and satisfying to push, the lighting on it is wonderful, the screen size is perfec

Kobo vs Kindle

I’m a pretty dedicated Kobo owner but it’s largely personal preference. The Paperwhite is a really good device and Amazon’s ecosystem is very easy to use. There’s a reason that Amazon is basically the default ereader for a lot of people. I switched to Kobo for two reasons. First, the form factor of

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

Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Libra Colour — which would you keep? 😭

I think only bullet point 2 matters here the most. Don’t let people gaslight you that the Kaleido 3 is an OK screen when it clearly bothers you. It is an amazing screen for those who don’t notice the screendoor effect, but if your eyes are sensitive, it just makes it unusable. I have a Kindle Oasis

Best Ereader for actually owning your books?

I switched from Kindle to Kobo last summer after accidentally dropping a tungsten box cutter on my Oasis. Best accidental ereadercide ever.

Just got my first Kobo - kind of regretting it after years with Kindle

I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and will try to answer some of your questions. You can change the screen zones from the settings, I can't remember what the default was but I have the whole middle part for the menus not just the bottom of the screen, and you can drag from the top to

Honestly, I’m frustrated with where e-ink is going

I guess eInk devices have to find an area where they are actually better for everyone. Kindles did that. They are better than books in some regard: you can carry around many books and it is light and doesn't need much space you can increase the font size so you can read without glasses if you are a

Hobby Ideas for Chronic Migraine

Audiobooks and podcasts - and depending on your symptoms it might be worth it to get an ereader. Some of them are front lit. That is, back lighting is lights facing you, front lighting is lights inside the device facing AWAY from you. So I have a kindle oasis I have had nearly 10 years now? Front li

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
