If you like it in general (as a reader), then before you spend money on something else .. have you tried other methods of getting books on the Kindle? Amazon deleting sideloaded books (I think it’s specifically AZW3 format books that have the “EBOK” flag) is a known bug (probably a feature really si

Don't buy the Lite, except you want to save as much money as possible. You can't change colour temperature, don't have buttons (it's the only PocketBook device without buttons) and get a significantly smaller battery (size of the battery is not only a day-to-day thing, it also decides how long your
