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.

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.

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.

On top of the millions of other problematic things, it really bothers me that she had to have one of the fancier/pricier kindles. She is not using it to it's full capability and would've been fine with a regular basic kindle or kindle paperwhite. Instead, she had to be made for more..

Deinfluence me: Kindle
I have a Kobo, but I guess this still applies: Kung di ka talaga mahilig magbasa, and think getting one MIGHT make you an avid reader, it’s not worth spending so much for it. E-ink screens are very fragile, even with screen protectors. We don’t have a local official customer support in case it break

Kobo FTW
Yeah, they used to sell kindle basic back in 2023, paperwhite was 10k. This new paperwhite costs 17k lol, and it is the 16Gb one. The prices have jumped for Kobo as well, the black and white Clara was 14k, color was 16 and libra color was 20k But, every e-reader is worth it (except for the latest ki

Why get Kindle when Kobo exists
I own three kindles (very old paperwhite, refurbished oasis, and 2023 basic) and I got a kobo libra color this past Christmas. I doubt I’ll ever buy another kindle, for a variety of reasons— not the least of which being the fact you don’t have to jailbreak a kobo to use KOreader. The original reason

Upcoming Crackdowns - Options?
That and how long will they last when compare to a Kindle. But that is beside the point, Kindle is just an eReader it can't do anything else but access Amazon store and give you free ads; Boox, Viwoods, Bigme are Android devices and will get support until that version of Android is supported, I don'
