I'm with you, my reading device is something where I don't want to fiddle or be distracted by settings and options. I just want a stock, opinionated device with good defaults that just works and I have to charge once a month. That's it.
- exhumet 3mo agoagreed, obviously reading a book itself is the simplest way to read a book. but the simplest way to carry around an entire library is technology. so id like to remove the fiddling or needing to interact with said technology as a barrier to me turning off my brain from life to get sucked into a book
- sleepybrett 3mo agoIt seems like you would only have to do this stuff once. So the main complaint is 'the settings menus need to be better organized'. That seems achievable.

- dewey 3mo agoWhy? I'm using my old Kindle Paperwhite every day, for many years now and I haven't had any issues or "distractions" pop up ever. Rarely I have to plug it into my computer to send books to it with Calibre, that's my only interaction with this device.
- ZeWaka 3mo agoI'm just lazy and toggle airplane mode with the send-to-kindle @kindle.com email, though sometimes Amazon isn't happy and doesn't send it. It does refresh the lockscreen ads for a month or so, though. I have a cover so they don't really bother me.
