I bought a Kindle Paperwhite in 2016 and it has been one of my best purchases ever. Very easy on my eyes with the e-ink screen and it pretty much just works, with no issues. Initially I used all the fancy Amazon features to upload and sync e-books to my phone, but once I realized they have some onerous data tracking without my consent, I straight up just put my Kindle in airplane mode and just started uploading books manually using Calibre. Thankfully I never actually bought any books through Amazon. At the end of the day, I like owning the things I purchase. Additionally, as much as I understand needing user data for improving software, these giant tech corporations just do too much non-consensual bullshit with user data to allow literally any of it.
Anyways, fantastic product overall. I just use it as a completely offline e-book reader :)
