The new paperwhite with the flush screen is essential if only for its ability to not collect cat hair in the bezel

binaryhermit posted:I'd argue that given that eReaders have like 1500 mAh batteries and last weeks on a charge, you really don't need fast charging. I only charge my Kindle when it tells me it's almost dead and it's always a surprise I like that I don't have to janitor my Kindle battery as much as a phone but on the flip side when it says the battery's about to die it means I've got like 2 minutes

I only read for about an hour before bed but my Paperwhite (with flush screen) lasts a month with Wi-Fi on. My biggest complain is that it only warns you that the battery is low when it’s no-poo poo about to die. I’d prefer to get a warning earlier so I can put it on the charger in the morning instead of scrambling at 11pm. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Apr 4, 2021 |

astral posted:Did they take away the battery percentage indicator with that revision or something? I don’t go out of my way to look at it. When I’m reading it’s just the text of the book until I’m done and pick another. I know I could make a habit of checking the battery every night or something. I’d just rather not do that and instead have a warning at 10% instead of 1%.

My other electronics stuff, even the cheap stuff, has mostly moved over to USB-C as I've updated so it's annoying no matter what the excuse is

Amazon doesn't have the announcement and the link in Ars is dead. Maybe jumped the gun a little bit?

Yeah the info is 100% good I'm just anxious to slam my finger onto a purchase button Edit: it's up now if you search. Just pre-ordered the signature edition with a leather cover.

Contrast is the bigger enemy. Pick brown/black on sepia for phone screens.

I've been digging the hell out of my new Paperwhite and I think the marketing really undersold how much FASTER this thing is. Page flips are almost instant now and it doesn't get bogged down when you're flipping a few pages forward or back. The official leather cover is a total ripoff though. Garbage quality that might as well be plastic. I feel bad for the cow that gave its life for that.

I have no regrets at all in upgrading. Yeah the speed boost over the last model is huge and totally understated. It was a big upgrade for me.

You need to find an Etsy seller making leather cases (not just drop-shipping from Alibaba or slapping on a Cricut sticker) and ask them for a custom order. I haven't done this for eReader covers specifically but that's how I approach custom orders for other things.

I was reminded of the Sony PRS-505 the other day, my first eInk reader, and it made me think I would literally kill to have a device that beautiful again with a modern front light. I have already killed for it, but it hasn’t been working.
