Bitter Sweet
I'm pretty miffed about Amazon sending my OG Paperwhite to pasture. It has some significant sentimental value, and going down the sideloading path just changes the experience. What's a good non-Amazon e-reader nowadays?

Amazon dropping some Kimdle Support
My 2012 paperwhite works just fine. I am FURIOUS about this. Is there any other option for an e reader that works though? I hate reading on my phone. I don't really want to buy another kindle after this.

Kids nowadays, especially Gen Alpha, cannot concentrate on reading books for very long. Is it a true story or just a myth?
My 14 year old chaos bringer is a voracious reader. She buys her own books with any money she can scrounge, including 600 to 700 page chapter books.

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?
I bought my first e-reader, a Sony PRS-505, in 2007 for $300 (about $750 today) and it still works. In 2015 my husband bought me a Paperwhite since it’s backlit and I didn’t have to use a clip on light to read with then in 2024 he bought me an updated kindle that has warm light and is water resistan

Name a product, item or gadget you found which really ease your problem
I spend so much money on books and they gather dust once I'm done with them as i don't want to throw them away. Kindle paperwhite with libgen came as a blessing. With sideloading, i got my money's worth for 7 good years. Now that I'm into comic books as well, contemplating a kobo libra color. .

Kindle Shop: Aus für alte Modelle, Amazon kappt den Support
Amazon versucht, den Abschied etwas abzufedern und verteilt einen Rabattcode an Betroffene für neue Modelle. Über jenen gibt es 20 % Nachlass auf ausgewählte Kindle-Geräte, der Code soll bis zum 20. Juni 2026 gültig sein. Joah, für mich wird es dann aber eher kein neuer Kindle. Mein Paperwhite von 2

Forgot I still had this. Anyone still using Poke 2 in 2025?
People acting like Poke 2 is ancient. Looks it up. Released in April 2020... Meanwhile; I'm reading on my kindle paperwhite that was released in 2015, and see no reason to upgrade...

A Kindle Paperwhite 😉 They really are perfect for reading in bed and not disturbing your bed partner, and gentle on your eyes.
