Except for some bizarre restrictions on functionality. You can drag and drop books onto the Kindle like a thumb drive (awesome!), but there isn't support for folders (not awesome!). If you want to organise huge quantities of books into collections which is, after all, the point of the Kindle, you have to do it manually on the device. Or you use Calibre, but I feel like that's a negative point because most consumers won't know about it.
Is it so hard to view as a directory structure rather than listing all the books recursively?
That and they seem to have removed the 3G for web browsing, so now owning a cellular Kindle is pretty much useless unless you're really desperate to get a book abroad.
- dukeluke 10y agoOne of my favorite features of the Kindle is that it works with Calibre. I understand that it's difficult for some, but it's a godsend for me.
- Steel_Phoenix 10y agoRight now, the only thing stopping me from buying the Kindle Oasis is that it has auto rotate that can't be turned off. I read in all sorts of odd positions and have the odd habit of turning books 90 degrees and reading bottom to top. I started because it seemed to help reduce the eye strain of looking left and right all day, and then found I actually preferred it.
