I've dropped my keyboard kindle on the hard floor twice and it's still fine so that's also a plus

I bought a Kindle Touch in, I think, late 2011. I've read ~25 books on it. It's paid for itself.

I've read a shitload of books on my keyboard kindle, like at least 80 or 90, if you turn wireless off when you don't need it you only gotta charge the loving thing once a month

As much as I like eink, I do not enjoy the kindle experience. I would rather read a real book. I'd rather display a real book. I don't know.

i tried to read a book on the kindle app on my phone but apparently only a free preview was available and theres no obvious way to purchase the books. thanks

it's easy as gently caress to order a book or send a preview to an actual kindle

plus there's no DRM so you can pirate books if you want the used bookstore experience

from the phone app theres no obvious way to buy the book. it told me i could ad it to my wishlist but thats it.

I can browse poo poo on amazon then send a sample to my kindle, and if I like the sample I can instantly buy it on my kindle and it downloads in like 2 seconds and poo poo is usually like 10 bucks

honestly through I usually pirate poo poo if they charge more than 10 bucks, because gently caress paying hardcover prices for a digital version

i don't have a kindle anymore but reading books on my phone seemed easy. i could prob buy the book on the website but its dumb as gently caress that there isn't a "buy this book" button in the Kindle Branded App

sounds like a personal problem man dunno how you could want to read anything for an extended period on a phone or non eink tablet
