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.

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. .

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

I went from a 3rd generation kindle to a paperwhite, which i hate. I think the summary is spot on.

Esse é o preço de um Kindle? Achei um pouco salgado

O Kindle subiu bem de preço, mas não tem concorrência no Brasil então paciência. O básico já atende super bem, zero necessidade do paperwhite hj em dia.

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.

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

i've been here before and honestly if the screen grain bothers you now it's not gonna stop bothering you. for novels that crisp paperwhite screen is just easier on the eyes over time. the buttons are nice but you can get a case with a grip or a popsocket to mimic that feel. sounds like you're more a
