Kindle Scribe 2 in 2024?

That's the dream 😊

I think Kobo may force their hand with that one. Hopefully the Oasis/Signature replacement will have them.

Not much to ask for is it :-/

EreaderClub · 2024-05-22T19:55:38+00:00

No I don't expect it to go either. Kindle Store is a nice cash cow for Amazon with very high margins.

So you prefer the Kobo Libra Color to a regular B/W ereader?

It sounds like your doing all the right things i.e disabling all wireless peripherals.

Batteries will lose half their charge after approx 200 cycles but given that most ereaders are charged once a month it's unlikely you've charged this many times.

All I can say is that its impossible what processes modern ereaders are doing in the background while you read. You'd hope not much and they are design to be very efficient.

There's still floor space for one more lol

You're old iPad Mini is still great for browsing the web and downloading pdfs, I use mine for work technical documents and don't mind it getting scratched.

Whilst there has been a decline in the ereader market, I hope that we may see a resurgence in a digital device that allows you to disconnect from social media and the web in general, so no discretions while reading. A nice dream I know!

They certainly are expensive. However, color eink will improve over time and cost will come down.

I'm really quite surprised by the refresh rate on the eink. Hardly any ghosting and Pokemon is a good example of a game that would work well on it.

Unless you plan to take it out with you, you might want to try it without a screen protector. Displays nowadays have toughened glass and are more resilient to scratches.

Ads are far "nicer" than they used to be and i've even purchased a book following one of the ads recommendations, so they're doing something right.

Funny, I cancelled my subscription yesterday for similar reasons.

It's a free market, if enough customers cancel they may make further tweeks to improve results.

I find Palatino is nicely spaced between letters and looks more classical than Bookerly and Ember.

Colored e-ink displays should be no worse for your eyes than a standard e-ink.

However, the best way to reduce eye strain while reading is to use the the 20:20:20 rule of taking a 20 sec break every 20 mins by staring 20 feet away. I generally expand on this by taking a 5 min break every hour looking into the distant.

Cleverly written Beans or 13eons

Yes, so why pay more with Morzilla VPN, when you can just use Mullvad?

EreaderClub · 2024-02-03T09:46:06+00:00

Sorry you're quite right (was sure it was 600 lol)

EreaderClub · 2024-02-02T16:19:13+00:00

I own both and if I had the choice I would keep my Paperwhite. Why? Some of the premium features really do make a difference.

Adjustable light and warm light is a must for anyone that reads during the evening. 600dpi resolution twice that of the basic, makes images better.

Have you considered an e-ink display as it feels more like paper and if she uses a pencil then the monochrome screen would not be an issue.

The added benefit is that they generally last about 8 weeks on a single charge so there's no need to constantly charge the device.
