I'm hoping for a decent color e-ink device soon. While I am drawn to the Kobo, I am too invested in the Kindle ecosystem (probably gonna regret it if Amazon ever decides to kill Kindle, lol).

i suggest downloading your books onto your computer for safe keeping and one day, you can just convert it into other formats and you can read them on other e-readers then you wont be affected by all the what ifs

My only problem with Kobo is that it only syncs with Overdrive App, not the Libby App.
Shoot

was about to say maybe can get KOBo since it can work with overdrive with NLB

but now seems overdrive slowly phaseout? and we need to move to Libby?

libby works with kindle in USA

didn’t know Libby does t work with NLB

and just bought kindle

wasted money because stopped audible Ah subscription because many audio books I want not available in SG

Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting a Kindle Paperwhite for reading my ebooks (mostly PDFs). Any issues that I should look out for?

Thank you.

FYI. Received this email from Kindle after using its Send to Kindle service today.

We want to let you know that starting August 2022, you’ll no longer be able to send MOBI (.mobi, .azw) files to your Kindle library. Any MOBI files already in your library will not be affected by this change. MOBI is an older file format and won’t support the newest Kindle features for documents. Any existing MOBI files you want to read with our most up-to-date features for documents will need to be re-sent in a compatible format.

Compatible formats now include EPUB (.epub), which you can send to your library using your Send to Kindle email address. We’ll also be adding EPUB support to the free Kindle app for iOS and Android devices and the Send to Kindle desktop app for PC and Mac.

ehhh I was under the impression Kobo works with Libby?

hmm was gonna buy the Oasis... but realised no USB-C :/ ugh

how do you guys share books with your spouse?
do each of you have your own Kindle/Amazon account so the book progress, etc. can be maintained separately?

Was compiling all my past kindle purchases in an excel file.

Was really surprised King Killer Chronicle was only 1.00 USD :eek: . Noticed Amazon in the past also used to give kindle book rebates regularly. But now like never receive anymore :(

I’m looking to purchase a kindle to bring on a long plane journey. Can anyone recommend one that I should get? I was told the paperwhite 2021 is good. I’m new to kindle so any advice is welcome. Thanks.

IMHO.
I am a non-user.
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32G) is on offer now at Amazon.SG.
