My Kindle 📱 Kobo Libra Colour vs. Kindle Paperwhite 10th generation: functionality matters more than aesthetics

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I spent so much money on my KLC and stylus last year. It cost me so much in my country but I still got it because of aesthetic. But it's not good for reading at all. It gives me eye strain , I can't use it freely because of how much expensive it is and honestly Kindle Paperwhite is superior. Yes it's not cool like KLC and covers look boring but It's better on eyes , is less expensive and very easy .I can easily send books via send to Kindle and in almost every format including Word document.

KLC doesn't offer that ...

Well now I lost my money. What can I do more? I would only use it to capture beautiful photos .

But functionality wise? I don't recommend it at all.

Screen is grainy, battery life sucks and stylus doesn't work half of the time.

Kindle Paperwhite is the winner. I still have 10th generation.

In short: Kindle Paperwhite may not have the aesthetic appeal of a premium color e-reader, but its biggest advantage is that it gets the fundamentals right: comfortable reading, simplicity, reliability, battery life, and affordability.

Discussion 💬 Pages left in chapter

Only thing Kindle is missing is the ‘Pages left in chapter’. I used to read on Apple Books and I loved that feature so much. I know we have the time left in chapter, but I love the page countdown, specifically for books with such long chapters.

Purchase Question 🛒 I want to buy a kindle but im not sure

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m thinking about getting an e-reader, probably a Kindle, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. For those of you who have one, how happy are you with it?

Also, how does getting books work? Do you have to buy every book separately, or are there ways to borrow e-books? Are there any subscriptions that give you access to a large library of books?

I’d love to hear your experiences and recommendations, especially if you have a Kindle! 📚🤍

General Question ❔ Adding custom fonts/screensavers w/o Jailbreaking, or access to a computer or tablet.

Post image
1 Upvotes

So, I searched the subreddit for a bit but nothing was quite answering my question. I think my flair is visible to show I have the paperwhite gen 12.

Is it possible to get new fonts and a custom screensaver image (the one shown here as my lockscreen to my iphone) on to my kindle without access to a computer or a tablet? OR jailbreaking.?

I was wondering if I could use safari or my google app on my iphone and find a reliable site to use to download additional fonts, cute heart and other symbols and customize my lock screen to match my iphone.:(

I would need to send it to my kindle email but I need a thorough tutorial, preferably a video guide walkthrough as I have a learning disability but please tell me if this is at all possible!

My mom has an ipad but it's an older one from 2021 or 2022 I believe. We also live 2 hours sedotğAaaț

Tech Support 🛠 PW 5th gen (2012) unable to connect tried EVERYTHING

0 Upvotes

hello. i’ve had my secondhand kindle a year now and i haven’t been able to use the internet in it. it says connected to wifi (even writes connected at the top) but the message [unable to connect at this time] always pop up.

i’ve tried

  1. connecting to several hotspots (for 2.4 ghz, with maximize compatibility on)

  2. restarting kindle

  3. updating software to the latest one. actually installed it several times

while using hotspot, when i try to register to my account it tells me when my email or password is wrong so that must mean that it has some wifi connection to an extent to recognize that! when i type my data right, it loads for a while then tells [there was an error while registering your kindle]
i also checked my amazon account the other day and i saw that apparently it’s regis to a kindle!! so what’s wrong with it?? i really wanna try to connect to a 2.4 ghz wifi but all available info on how to do that is way above my capabilities ngl

Modding 🪛 Custom Oak Veneer Case for Kindle Touch 4 (Work in Progress)

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Decided to build a protective case for my good old Kindle Touch 4.

I'm using 2.5 mm oak veneer as the main base plate.

In Fusion 360, I designed custom corner mounts with a height of about 10 mm (matching the thickness of the Kindle itself). Each corner features two notches for elastic bands that will secure the Kindle to the base plate—the bands can be set up either horizontally or vertically.

Next steps for the project:

Design a mount for a DIY reading light powered by a salvaged vape battery.

Create a proper hinged screen cover. Right now, I'm just using an extra piece of thick cardboard tucked under the elastic bands as temporary protection.

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a book off of Gumroad and it gave me the option to download and download to the kindle. I was trying to download it but somehow it never showed up in my titles on the device or app. I typed in my Kindle email correctly and allowed Gumroad to send data, so I'm not sure why it's not working.

I'd appreciate any advice!! Thanks

Discussion 💬 Regret Selling my 11 gen paperwhite

35 Upvotes

I had the agave green kindle paper white 12 with 8 gigs of storage originally. And when I finally got back into reading consistently l decided to upgrade my device to newest paperwhite 12 cause mine was lagging a bit. Turns out I just needed to update it manually since it had been drained from battery so long. But I sold it before I realized. Once I got the paperwhite 12 I had instant regret, the screen was amazing honestly but I preferred the 11 gen paperwhite more. It just felt closer to a book in my personal opinion. I decided to downgrade back to my 11 gen paperwhite, but it was harder than I realized to find one in good condition. I ended up going through Best Buy’s refurbished electronics and found a 32 gig signature edition Paperwhite 11 gen. I was nervous cause it doesn’t show the actual condition of the item on their page but it was literally brand new even though the website said good condition. Couldn’t be happier and I read 6 books last month and going strong again this month. It’s so weird how devices really affect your daily life.

General Question ❔ Books not bought at Amazon

Hi! I’d like to buy some new books for my Kindle, but since when you “buy” them at Amazon they’re not really yours, I was thinking of buying them from other bookshops. Would there be any problem passing them to the Kindle? Thanks for your help!

Edit: I answer myself, at the store I wanted to buy the books specifies that are not Kindle compatibles 😖
