What's the point of a dedicated e-reader instead of a phone or tablet with the brightness turned down? As a device category it will go the way of mp3 players and button phones.
I owned several kindles but my current one has been gathering dust for years and instead I just use the kindle phone app.

- Mediterraneo10 6y agoAn e-reader battery lasts longer than a phone. Also, there are no temptations to constantly check news or social media (or even Amazon’s ecosystem: my Kindle has been in airplane mode since the very minute I unboxed it). I don't even take my phone into the bedroom because it is a proven source of distraction and poor sleep, but a Kindle allows me to do some long and productive reading at night or when I wake up in the morning.
