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.

So i'm considering getting my gf a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas. ... Any advice is appreciated. Don't buy a Kindle.

Is there a reason outside of being Amazon that Kindles are disliked in this sub (US specific)?

It's a few things: I really, really like page turn buttons. I understand having a touchscreen on these devices, but when the vast majority of your time is going forwards or backwards, in a book, why wouldn't you have buttons for that? So I have an immediate bend against devices that don't have them.

Why no one talks about Kindle in India?

Buying books on Kindle has become expensive imo. When I bought Kindle back in 2016, they allowed any Epubs downloaded from internet to be copied on the device. But, since 2022-23, they stopped allowing that. Now, you have to upload your legally purchased Epubs to their store and download it from the

My Amazon TV now unmutes itself during Prime Video commercial breaks

I download the book and upload it to my Kindle over USB with Calibre. The download option is a little hidden, for obvious reasons, but if you poke around on your order page you can find it. My Kindle has never left airplane mode and never known an internet connection and it's going to stay that way.

Best Ereader for actually owning your books?

Kobo books are easier to de-DRM, meaning you get to keep them, while Amazon keeps making it more difficult and less consumer-friendly with each new update. In the UK Kindle/Amazon has no kind of rewards points/programme (I believe this is different in the USA?), I've been able to use my points from

New Kindle ScribeColorsoft 2025

As far as the colors are concerned on the screen, Amazon is portraying them to be more vibrant (like an LED or LCD screen) than they actually will be on the device. It's very deceptive, but such is the company... The tech used is kaleido 3, this tech is a bit different than gallery 3 (used on the pa

New DRM Added to Kindles with 5.18.5 Update, Breaking DRM Removal

I like the UI of the Kobo a lot more than my paperwhite. It's more aesthetically pleasing, better organized, null of adds entirely, etc. I also think the Kobo interface is faster/more responsive. I have a Kobo libra color and it has dropbox and onedrive access built in, or you drag and drop 3rd part

Kobo v kindle

My vote goes to the kobo libra colour coming from an older kindle paperwhite. Really really love the libra and the ease of sideloading books through calibre and screensaver customisation and just love it more than my old kindle overall. Also not a fan of Amazon’s business practices with the kindle a
