I've been using a 2nd gen Paperwhite for a long time. This might be the one I upgrade to (for the waterproofing and the warm light).
I really don't like Amazon though, so it's been a hard justification. Kindle is the only thing left I use that is Amazon.
I've thought about switching to Kobo, but I'm not sure it's worth it with how easy everything is on the Kindle.
I run a docker container with Calibre, and I use it to send all my books to the Kindle over e-mail. I would lose that functionality on the Kobo. I'd have to go back to manually syncing which would be a pain.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoThe only reason I needed to replace my 2nd gen paperwhite is because it fell out of my dry-sack into a river on a canoeing camping trip this summer. That thing had been backpacking to two dozen countries with me over a decade.
- m0ngr31 5y agoYeah it really has been a tank for me as well. The waterproofing would be really nice.
- beardyw 5y agoI rinsed and left an old kindle to dry for a couple of weeks and it was fine.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoI sent it back and got $25 credit.
- fastball 5y agoCalibre runs on Mac/Win/Lin, why do you run it in a Docker container?
- m0ngr31 5y agoI have it running on my Unraid box with a million other docker containers and all my media. That way I don't need to worry about keeping my ebooks organized on more than one machine.
