My Kindle is an ad filled wasteland and I regret buying it.

Doesn't work on newer kindles. I left my beloved kindle paperwhite on a plane and had to buy a new one; it now needs to connect to wifi periodically for you to continue reading, which defeats the whole purpose of having a kindle when it does it while you're on a bus or something.

Kobo or Boox: Which did you choose? FAQ feedback appreciated.

The Boox Go Color 7 was a no brainer for me, having an Android based e-reader is incredible. You can have the Kindle and Kobo apps on one device. I was sick of how restricted the Kindle was and Amazon doesn't need more of my money. Kobo doesn't have Libby integration here in the US, at least not in

Daily Discussion - May 14, 2026

I have the Kobo Clara BW, which I got to replace a Kindle Paperwhite that I had for a hot minute in early-2024 before they announced the KCBW. In hindsight, I should have just gotten a Kobo to begin with, given that their now discontinued Kobo Libra 2 cost the same as what I paid for my Kindle. As f

New to Ereaders- Recommendations??

I hear you. I mostly read novels and cant say I particularly care about seeing color on my book covers. Its the annotating that really gets me, I dont like to annotate my physical books but I am all for it on an Ebook. Also I really did not enjoy the way annotations works on the kindle scribe but I

Xteink X4 & X3

Not really. The book I have on the X3 is for my ‘book club’ type books (Dune, Quiet), ie books I’m reading a chapter a day, but also I only carry this on workdays as it fits better in the back of the phone. Most of my work clothes don’t have pockets. The X4 is the one I use when I’m home (Jo Nesbø,

First e-reader?

I've been using my kindle pw for a good 10 years now and I'm not planning on replacing it until it dies for good. But if that were to happen tomorrow, these are the most important things I'd look for: Physical buttons for page turning - when I hold my e-reader I usually do that with only one hand, t

Kindle PW 12th gen vs Clara BW

If you’re not buying books, consider the Pocketbook series. I have a Verse Pro (6”) that fits in my pocket and I take with me when I’m out and about, and I have an Inkpad 4 (7.8”, I love this device!) that is, for me, the perfect size for reading at home. Reading position syncs between the two devic

Show us your reading spot for World Book Day! ☕️📚

I use my Viwoods Reader 95% of the time, and my kindle paperwhite at night! I wish the black and white reader had the note taking abilities. I don’t want or need color and hate there isn’t a small ereader in black and white that can take notes. Also, battery life. I’d totally replace how slim the de

One of my favorite purchases in a while

I would say it feels a little more fragile than my old Kindle Paperwhite but that could be placebo due to the fact it is lighter

Comprei um Kindle e estou amando estudar nele

O Kindle padrão de nova geração está saindo por exatos R$599 na Amazon, na verdade. Você só paga mais caro se quiser os Paperwhite para ter uma tela maior e coisas como luz noturna (o que, na minha opinião, não faz sentido, já que o bom do Kindle é ser pequeno e prático).
