Unpopular Opinion about Switching from Kindle to Kobo

I prefer Kobo's UI, it's so much better than kindle's. I don't read kindle unlimited books. I mostly sideload and kobo works great with Calibre. My KLC is much faster than my oasis.

Recent new drm on kindles

I mean, a couple people posted a few days ago having this issue. I know at least one of them I suggested creating a log and posting to the nodrm github. And I know that on the github, at least 2 separate posts had the same problem with 5.16.2.1.1 and the nodrm mod was able to reproduce the same prob

Amazon is shooting it's self in the foot.

Ditched Amazon years ago because 1. What you're speaking on. 2. Hardware team just gave up after the Oasis 7" and have spent the past decade putting out nonsense with zero vision other than marketing while Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook keep iterating form and size and bezel considerations and 3. Other comp

Kindle Paperwhite or Kobo Clara BW?

Kobo's design has a sunken screen contrary to the Kindle. I have a first generation Clara and a Kindle Oasis 3. The plastic layers on the kindle's annoys the hell out of me. The image on the Kobo is top notch for me.

Amazon restocking the kindle oasis

I feel like it's old stock they found that they hadn't planned on selling because they didn't realise how popular it actually was (based on my other theory that Amazon doesn't invest in any meaningful form of customer focused input or social listening when it comes to business decisions about Kindle

Wish I had tried this sooner

I wish they made kindle paperwhite with a left or right side holder like the oasis. The bottom only hold makes it sometimes hard to read my kindle on my side while in bed.

Esse é o preço de um Kindle? Achei um pouco salgado

É bizarro como uma coisa que começou barato virou um troço caro pra cacete. E esses aí nem são os modelos com mais recursos. Comprei o meu Kindle Oasis, e já achei bastante caro na época, mas ele foi o preço desse Paperwhite. Imagina qnt custaria hoje.

Is there a reason outside of being Amazon that Kindles are disliked in this sub (US specific)?

I’ve had three Kindles over the years and the Oasis that I got in 2017 is still my primary device, so I’m certainly not anti-Kindle. Would I get another one though once my Oasis dies? Nope. Reasons are many - not a fan of Amazon’s practices; my Oasis has excellent hardware but I don’t like the book

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I keep it on airplane mode all the time, which is what annoys me. I've also jailbroken it, following all steps to ensure no updates occur. It's a Kindle Oasis. Still, it reverted the process overnight despite no update being pushed. I had to factory reset it. Right now, I'm waiting for a brand new X

The Boox Palma 2 is incredibly fragile and should be avoided

On the other hand I’ve cracked the screens of two Kindles (regular and Oasis) and my Boox 2 remains unscathed 🤷🏻‍♀️ sometimes I think it’s just the luck of the draw.
