Hi.

I have an old Amazon Kindle Paperwhite that is showing signs of its age. So I have to start thinking about replacing it.

So I have been really happy with both the Paperwhite and the Kindle store. But I have realised that I should be moving away from Amazon as it’s not really a company I would like to keep supporting.

So what are the current best options out there. Mostly reading non fiction books, so no need for colour. But a bookstore with a good selection is critical.

Photo unrelated. But a great read/listen about the dust-bowls in the 1920’s.

    Why dont you just get like Speech Central on your phone and get all your books for free on LibGen. It couldn’t be easiwr

    Then you can manually read it, have it visually read it to you by highlighting the text, or have it read aloud to you

      The e-Ink screen and the specific form factor are legitimate differentiators for an ebook reader. I also kind of like the psychological intentionality of “I am reading now” that you get with a dedicated device, even if it could sort of awkwardly be coaxed into doing more.
