What the fuck.

welcome to patent bullshit of e-inks

There's also not much demand for innovation or change in the commerical space.

In the pro space sure. Eink signs would be fucking sick.

also other manufacturer is Kobo

their now old "Kobo Glow" is around 50-60

Had a Kobo WiFi years ago, was nice.

Glorious Kobo. Releasing a waterproof kindle so Amazon has to as well

their aura model is around 70 iirc (year ago last time i checked

What are the best couple of ebook readers around now?

Kindle Paperwhite on sale is 100$ with waterproof and backlight

There was a recently made 10 inch eink with no backlight. Got highly reviewed but was expensive

If it gets me reading again it'll be worth whatever, I used to love reading all the time, now I only read online.

Last gen Paperwhite can be had for cheap used.

Any bullshit with Kindle like requiring an account or ads or anything?

kindle whatever, kobo aura and said Boox Nova

No. Use Calibre. Load eberybook

Bought chink shit mousepad

It is probably shit but never know

I haven't setup a new kindle in ages.

But once started just turn on airplane mode. And you won't ever see ads again after a month.

@Sad loved both giant mats I've got

The ads also don't fuckin matter unless your autistic and impulse buy books

The giant one still feels small

Based literally off the cover

But I will soon be home and see how it looks on my desk

but yeah boox and kobos are decent as long as you never let them touch internet

(legacy android + internet = bad combo)

IV never seen ads on either of them but Amazon ads are pretty based

When the new kindle came out it kept hounding me to trade mine in for a credit for a new one

Sale+credit would have made it like. $60

and then they sold the old one to some unlucky fuck and showed same ad

:D and loop continues

I actually have a stack of old Kindles on my desk

Well. Two old one brand new

Bought it. Put the case on it. And put it on my desk

<:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

Seriously tho @timsandtoms get a new Paperwhite on Christmas sale for $99

Amazon always discounts that shit for Christmas and blackfriday.
