I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

I'd recommend everyone to buy a Kobo over these, it's much easier to read your own .pdf and .epub files than on a Kindle.

Where's the one with unlimited internet connectivity for the lifetime of the device...I'm not seeing it.

My wife has the oasis that has cellular connectivity so she can read newspapers, rss feeds, etc. But I don't see a Kobu with that feature.

Where do u go that doesn’t have Wi-Fi in 2024?

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Public wifi? Almost everywhere because security protocols changed, and captive portals don't work on a lot of modern hardware due to DNSSEC
