Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books

I rarely use my Paperwhite Signature since I like my Boox Nova 2 more. The Kindle is mostly just for the serial note to strip DRM now via Calibre.
My wife recently joked that it’s my “Kindle Paperweight.” With this announcement I doubt I’ll buy anymore books from Amazon.

Hi, what do you like about boox nova? I have the Paperwhite (2022) and wondering if there’s a better alternative that isn’t Amazon. I do enjoy the page turn animation, does boox have it too?

No book turn animations in Neo Reader, but other apps might, like Moon+ Reader. I prefer the Boox interface and warm light, and it’s much more customizable. Also, being android based means access to alternative reading apps, and even manga.
Not sure if you can still buy the Nova line, I’ve had it since 2020. I bought the Paperwhite Signature as an “upgrade” but the Boox screen is larger, the warm light is nicer (warm orange/tan, the Kindle warm light is pee yellow).
