Lack of epub support is unacceptable. An e-reader should allow you to read e-books (what a concept!)

- paulcole 5y agoIt's not an e-reader, it's a Kindle.
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoEven so. An audio player that played proprietary files by exactly one record company would be obvious bullshit. Somehow publishing has allowed itself to be squeezed into the e-reader equivalent. The result is a predictable lack of quality in both hardware and software - never mind consumer choice and delivery options.
- paulcole 5y agoYou're wishing the Kindle wasn't a Kindle. Amazon clearly has 0 interest in making an open-ish e-reader. Yes, you can dislike the Kindle, but to say it's a bad e-reader is like saying a bicycle is a bad car.
- Abroszka 5y agoGoing with your logic, it's correct to say that it's a bad e-reader, because it's not an e-reader but a Kindle.
- walteweiss 5y agoWhat you all guys mean by Kindle? I have one for like a decade and I don’t get it. It’s not a strong brand of itself like iPhone (which is also smartphone). All I can tell about it is that it’s a mediocre reader and that’s it. I don't upgrade it to any other reader because it just works, so I’m going to keep it till it won’t.
