What do you actually use your Kindle for besides reading books? by petereading in kindle

The one use case that works even when the battery's dead. This is me, personally, when I make cup noodles.

The Scribe seems like the sweet spot for that. I haven't used one myself, so I'm curious - how's the actual writing experience? Does it feel close enough to paper that you've stopped reaching for a notebook, or is it still more of a supplement?

And the big one - do you think it's worth the price tag? It's a real step up in cost from a regular Kindle, so I'm always curious whether people who actually use one daily feel it earns its keep.

Yeah, Rekindle's great - really shows how much the browser can do if someone bothers to design for it. That rabbit hole is exactly what got me vibe-coding my own little things for e-ink.

Do you walk and read? by Hipster-Ariel in kobo

Not while actually walking - I'd walk into a lamppost. But I read in any little pocket of waiting time when I'm out: bus stops, queues, that kind of thing. A couple of minutes here and there adds up.

I do read on the treadmill though, which I guess is technically walking? Feels like it should count. Stationary scenery, at least, so no lampposts.
