      Comics manga and audiobooks maybe. The fact that they removed the damn folder subfolder organisation for collections, that you manually add books to…and after you hit the max to add (10 maybe) start over from page 1 makes even having a large collection a pain in the arse. Having a wider variety of genres, authors with classics and non fiction isnt a bad idea. You don't need to read everything and having choice within the device is great. Was great….whatever.

      Hopefully xiaomi or one of the good chinese tech companies that have patent and copyright laws firmly in the non fiction folder on their personal kindle (aka reference model 1a) can sort something out one of these days.

    Anyone who has a kindle have any luck borrowing ebooks from their council library and being able to use on the kindle?

    Thinking of the Paperwhite 8GB as a present, but most books end up being borrowed.

      You might be better off getting a kobo ereader which support overdrive.

      • kulprit on 18/08/2021 - 20:54

        Maybe a Chromebook Duet and then use the tablet part?

        • Caped Baldy on 18/08/2021 - 22:28

          Nah. Better off getting a dedicated device. The lighting on ereaders cause a lot less eyestrain.

      • DashCam AKA Rolts on 18/08/2021 - 21:17

      Also there may be a size limit for sending to kindle.

    • TheSnyper on 19/08/2021 - 06:58

      I tested this by sending a Phantom comic to the Kindle. I couldn't read the text. You can zoom in but then you need to scroll around all the time and I don't see the point in that. From what I can see, an 8" device would be the minimum size for comfortable reading of comics.

    • drfuzzy on 19/08/2021 - 01:51

      can't you do that with Kindle? What about if you use calibre?

      • sween64 on 19/08/2021 - 08:28

        Kobo allows it on device. You can search and download ebooks from your library all on the Kobo. It's seemless. My elderly mum does it.

    • Shannonandanne on 19/08/2021 - 13:49

      Totally! I really dont understand the hype with kindles. Being able to borrow library ebooks on your kobo is amazing

    Pretty angry that none of the 3 accounts in our house qualify, especially as we are currently looking for a deal for one of these. I picked one up for $69 from Cash Converters yesterday (in perfect condition with case) but when I went to register it to my account Amazon told me it had been reported stolen and I had to return it today.

    The only consolation I guess is that these have been on sale 3 times in the last month in the USA and there seems to be a feeling that they are clearing stock for a new product launch soon.

    • bdl on 18/08/2021 - 21:43

      Keep the case when you return it.

    • Caped Baldy on 18/08/2021 - 22:41

      I got the offer but already have a kindle. Let me know if you're game to sort something out.

      • TheSnyper on 19/08/2021 - 07:00

        The device itself was locked from registration on Amazon's end, only they can unlock it which also means it can't be updated.

        • Caped Baldy on 19/08/2021 - 07:23

          I mean make another account to try to get the offer

          • TheSnyper on 19/08/2021 - 07:28

            @Caped Baldy: Oh. I had thought of that but I suspect that it may be a case of being valid at a certain point which has now passed.

    • dreamykitten on 18/08/2021 - 22:10
      +1

      Yes, only B&W. Not sure about browsing. I don't think you wanna browse the web much on it anyway because the experience won't be good.

    • silverrat23 on 18/08/2021 - 23:13

      Scrolling, especially on a Web browser, is quite unbearable. The kindle is only good for static images, like books or comics.

  • dbmitch on 18/08/2021 - 22:22

    Just give thought to the following if you think you need this:

    • Do you need Overdrive/Libby app to borrow books from your local library systems?

    • Do you need a non-glare, paperlike screen to read without pain on?

    • Do you want audiobook support or prefer them?

    • Does this do anything that a phone app wouldn't do, and you're fine with the phone experiance?

    • If at home, you don't mind just using a computer to read your ebooks?

    Dealbreaker on the lack of Overdrive/Libby support, and I have a ton of amazon audiobooks that won't be able to use the kindle immersion reading narration support that you get when you purchase the audiobook and ebook in a bundle.

    • xentar on 19/08/2021 - 03:19

      Im less about the glare and more the refresh rate, front light, portability and comfort. I think heavy readers should consider e-ink devices whether this one or another. reading on a computer screen or phone screen might be fine for some but ignoring blue/white light static text that is comfortable to read anywhere is a different experience. a book with a few bells and whistles really.

      you can use audible with a us account and amazon seem to sync your accounts so books from any region can be downloaded. (i doubt you can use kindle to play locally stored media so if you have audiobooks i doubt it would work.

      I agree with your points on lack of widespread support for kindle formats in libraries. audible is available but jumping through the hoop of making a us account yeah might as well count it out.
      Not a huge augiobook fan and even if I was I wouldnt use a kindle to play it. non replaceable battery+something that lasts as long as you want. hell the 212 or whatever dpi on the first pw was great. so a pc or anything else really tablet, phone laptop for me (quicker upgrade cycle or replaceable battery - not to mention capacity on most tablets and phones these days can be pretty huge.

      If you are set on lib sure grab a kobo. the libra h20 is basically a cheaper kindle oasis anyway.

    Lowest price before this was $299, got it for $216.40 as I had a $5 sell and ship from Amazon offer applied as well; this after having converted "Coles Prepaid MasterCard" remnants to Amazon Gift Card.

    "Sorry, you are not eligible for this offer". Ah well, do have a Oasis 32 GB already ( sour grapes syndrome ;-)). BTW, for an Australian Account, it does not have Audiobook support. Recently changed from US to AU as well :-/ Have a few Audiobooks via Audible, and would have been good. The mobiles would have to fill in the void. Does well as a eBook reader, even in sunlight.

    Hi guys… can i get some guidance here if you have a view. This Kindle hardware has been around since its first release in 2018…. there hasn't been any new ones that came out from Amazon. Do you know/ think that there might be a new one coming up soon? Is that a reason why it is put on sale now? I would rather wait for a newer hardware to come out than buy the current 3 years old piece. Any thoughts?

      If a new one was launching soon then why would the discount only be targeted to some individuals and not all? Not the smartest way to sell off remaining units before relaunching a new model.

      • TheSnyper on 19/08/2021 - 18:49

        unless you only target around enough people to cover your remaining stock. This would prevent a site meltdown from everybody trying to get one at once, or having to produce more because you oversold (looking at you Dell).
