I bought a Kindle for this (programming books and PDFs) but was quickly disappointed
The device itself is pleasant enough
But I should have guessed, the experience for managing any content bought/downloaded from outside Amazon is almost unusable
- __rito__ 2y ago> the experience for managing any content bought/downloaded from outside Amazon is almost unusable Not at all. I buy EPUBs from all kinds of vendors, across multiple languages. I also have many downloaded from Standard Ebooks [0]. All EPUB works fine, and provides great experience- as long as a file does not contain one of the following- custom page illustrations, syntax highlighted code, graphs, charts, maps, math equations, color comicstrip etc. Just use PDF in tablet or laptop for arxiv papers, math/programming books, etc. Use Kindle for recreational reading- like novels, poetry, essays, etc. I am a huge fan of reading since basically learning to read. And I love Kindle! Am a user for last ~10 years. [0]: https://standardebooks.org https://standardebooks.org
- anentropic 2y agothe EPUB files work fine and it's possible to load PDFs on there my complaint is that the tools for organising and managing the library are crap
- __rito__ 2y agoYeah definitely. It's very slow, and the screen refresh rate is sometimes frustrating. But that is how it manages to hold its charge for a full month!
