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.

Em Breve Seu Kindle Pode Virar um Peso de Papel; Entenda
Não tem problema Sr. Cabeça de ovo, quando meu Kindle Paperwhite de 2015 falecer eu compro um e-reader chinês com android pela metade do preço 🙏

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.

Getting my GF a Kindle for Christmas
So i'm considering getting my gf a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas. ... Any advice is appreciated. Don't buy a Kindle. I was an early Kindle owner and while the hardware is good, the user experience has done nothing but get worse every single update. Furthermore, the Kindle store has continually mad

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 is my Xteink faster than every other reader?
Why the hell is this device faster than both the Palma Pro 2 I tried AND my Kindle Paperwhite? Probably because it currently doesn't have hardware resources to spare on nonsense. In my years consulting on IT product development, I've seen the same story replayed endlessly: the first MVP (minimum via

You only posted an image and left the “post” out of your post. So here are my thoughts about your photo in no particular order. One of the reasons that I use a remarkable for long periods of time instead of an ipad is because I don’t want a bright light shining in these old eyes for an extended peri
