Perhaps it’s “done”. Overdoing products is a massive problem these days.
- esperent 6y agoIf you mean the kindle is not advancing because it's "done", no way. Objectively, it's a pretty terrible device. The reason it hasn't advanced is lack of competition.
- m0xte 6y agoI have one. It works flawlessly for me
- Normal_gaussian 6y agoThis both is and isn't the case for me. I read fiction on a Kindle oasis. Its fantastic. I can't think of a single improvement. Its impossible for me to work with technical materials on the Kindle. Specs, tutorials, tech blogs, tech books. All are unusable because of resizing figures.
- m0xte 6y agoThat’s always been the case for technical content. The form factor and the document structures are fairly unsuited to pocket devices. I use mine for fiction only. I crank out the desktop for technical content almost universally. iPad doesn’t cut it either. But at the same time I have actual physical books for very technical stuff. They are still easier to use.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThe trouble is all the things you would need for reading technical material (large size, note taking, etc) would detract from what you need to read fiction. They probably should be two different devices. Personally I'm waiting for the new Remarkable.
- dexterdog 6y agoThat's why I still have a Kindle DX. It's way out of updates and it's very slow, but it still works.
- WalterBright 6y ago> I read fiction on a Kindle oasis. Its fantastic. I can't think of a single improvement. I have one and I can. The case is too slippery. It's hard to operate one-handed while lying on the couch because it slips out of your hand. My old Kindle 3 is very easy to operate one-handed at any angle, no slipping.
- bosie 6y agoSync hasn't worked for me in months. Let's hope they start 'overdoing' the kindle any day now.
