Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books
fading_person@lemmy.zip 19 hours agoThat’s interesting to know. I’d be devastated if I spent more morey for one and felt like it wasn’t worth it. Those devices are too expensive around here.
By the way, don’t you find it useful for reading stuff on the internet, like web articles, news, etc? When I looked for one, I also imagined myself connecting a bluetooth keyboard and using it for writing.

I thought I would use it to read Wikipedia pages but it turns out I only really read Wikipedia when I am encountering a link on my phone or PC and while I have it set up to sync links I save to the reader, since I want to read the thing right away I’m not gonna bother switching devices. Same with articles, I never find myself switching devices to read one. Maybe it would be different if I had a daily newsletter I’d read on it but I don’t use those, while I could use the ones from my library they are always lent out at the times I’d read them.
As for writing, my device is a standard 6 inch one which I’d find too small to write on, as I already own a laptop as well which is simply more ergonomic for writing. I also tried reading manga on it for which android has some great apps, but turns out I don’t enjoy manga as a medium at all.
I do love the ereader for actually reading books, it’s so comfortable but that’s the one feature I could have on any generic one. And like I said, I use it for about 2-3 hours a day and I find myself charging it once a week.
