For reference, I've been using the Kandle, although I think mine is an older model than pictured. It's really not too bad, except for batteries. It uses watch-type batteries that you pretty much have two options on:
1) Buy very expensive name-brand ones
2) Buy a whole lot of super cheap import ones that don't last nearly as long
I have a habit of falling asleep while reading, so I went with #2. It's still annoying as you have to haul out a jeweler's screwdriver (they provide one) to swap batteries. Overall it's been 'acceptable', but if I have the refund from my Paperwhite I wouldn't mind trying something more expensive (assuming I keep the Kindle Keyboard rather than go with a different lighted reader). Having the ability to recharge batteries myself would be nice though.
We both currently have the Kandle configuration, so we both grudgingly tolerate occasionally being blinded by the other person. (I've gotten in the habit of sleeping with a pillow over my head as I get older anyway.) |
I wonder if by any chance you have IKEA shop near you? Because they sell those batteries and cheap. And they have decent life. To unscrew I use a small knife or even a pointed nail file. And I also have the older model of kandle for my K3 (I clip it on the left, it covers the left back button)
