![]() My ebook journey started with Sony, Ebookwise, Nook, Kindle and now my favorite Kobo brand so I have a lot of books all of different reader formats. Reading on an Ipad screen tires the eyes quicker and I am tired of having to carry or charge three different E-ink devices to read my library. Not all of us have computers and want to go thru the DRM removal process. If they would design an E ink device like that it would be fantastic. In my opinion, Apple has been more successful in their device creations than the other companies. I wish Apple would create an E ink device with page turn buttons and would be able to read all Kindle, Kobo and Nook formats. It sure would be great if other companies could pick up the slack and offer devices that run a custom Kindle app designed for E Ink. ![]() Instead of coming out with something new, Amazon is still selling the Kindle Oasis from 2019, even though it’s been outdated for years now, and they can’t even be bothered to add a USB-C port to it like they did with the $99 basic Kindle in 2022. ![]() ![]() So why limit those customers to devices with LCD screens only?Īmazon didn’t release a single new Kindle device in 2023, and outside of the Kindle Scribe, Kindle developments have slowed to a crawl over the past several years, as Amazon clearly doesn’t have as much interest in Kindles as they used to in the past. Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to offer a Kindle app that is designed specifically for E Ink devices? Then any company could put out an Android ereader with an officially supported Kindle app that runs as smoothly as an actual Kindle.Īt this point in time, I would bet that far more people use a Kindle app on a phone or tablet than an actual Kindle ereader to read ebooks. If Amazon’s main goal is to sell ebooks, then why do they limit people to using Kindles only if they want a pleasant reading experience on an E Ink screen? There are a few ereaders, like the ones from Onyx, that run Android and can install the Kindle app, among other reading apps, but the Kindle app isn’t designed for E Ink screens so it doesn’t run as smoothly as an actual Kindle device, and there are more limitations, like not being able to use custom fonts or adding boldness. ![]()
