Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 months agoI transitioned from a Kindle to an iPad. It just works better and you can get refurbished older iPads with an excellent OLED screen and warranty for less than a new Kindle in most cases.
refurbished older iPads with an excellent OLED screen
The only iPads with OLED screens are the current generation of iPad Pro with the M4 chip. Every other iPad is an LCD screen (very good LCD, with deep blacks and very good local dimming, but still LCD).
Ah. I thought Retina was marketing speak for OLED. I stand corrected.
For anyone stumbling along. “Retina display” is their marketing speak for higher pixel density than “average”.
Retina is marketing speak for “pixels small enough to be individually indistinguishable by the human eye at proper viewing distances.”

Yeah but the goal of a ereader is to not have to read on a normal screen but on something that look more like paper

Oh, you mean paperwhite ereaders. You can get those too. Android based.

(Pedantry incoming)
Paperwhite is actually Amazon branding. E-Ink is as well. The generic name would be electronic paper or e-paper.

Not entirely true. E-ink is trademarked by the e-ink company, sole manufacturer of e-ink displays.
