I bought a Kindle Paperwhite in 2016 and it has been one of my best purchases ever. Very easy on my eyes with the e-ink screen and it pretty much just works, with no issues. Initially I used all the fancy Amazon features to upload and sync e-books to my phone, but once I realized they have some onerous data tracking without my consent, I straight up just put my Kindle in airplane mode and just started uploading books manually using Calibre. Thankfully I never actually bought any books through Amazon. At the end of the day, I like owning the things I purchase. Additionally, as much as I understand needing user data for improving software, these giant tech corporations just do too much non-consensual bullshit with user data to allow literally any of it.<p>Anyways, fantastic product overall. I just use it as a completely offline e-book reader :)<p>Calibre: <a href="https://calibre-ebook.com/" rel="nofollow">https://calibre-ebook.com/</a><p>Amazon tracking every tap: <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/31/21117217/amazon-kindle-tracking-page-turn-taps-e-reader-privacy-policy-security-whispersync" rel="nofollow">https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/31/21117217/amazon-kindle-tr...</a>
I have a really old Kindle DX. What's nice is it has a huge, tablet-sized e-ink screen -- but just for reading ebooks. So there's more screen area. (And there's no electronic light, just the ambient light in your room.)<p>They don't make them any more, but you can probably find used ones on eBay.
Veery old Kindle keyboard, but Santa will bring me Kindle Paperwhite 5.
I like it a lot, easy to manipulate, battery life, ecosystem around ebooks.
Works always and as expected.
I've been using a Kindle Voyager since around 2016 I think. I still use it because it has been reliable, the screen is nice on my eyes, and it has physical buttons.
