Personally I would just avoid Kindle now. There's very little benefits to their devices, Send to Kindle might be the only serious thing but has issues.

My interest in e-readers is reduction of distractions so I can get into a flow state for reading. Kindle is still the top choice for me.
- goosedragons 2y agoThey don't have the best rendering or the best hardware. Jailbreaking is often readily stymied for periods of time. I found when I had a Kindle there wasn't even a workable font size I liked without jailbreaking, everything was too big or too small with not enough middle ground. Kobo has near-identical hardware, doesn't require jailbreaking and has actually usable text options out of the box.
