So it's time to replace my old Kindle 3. It served me well, I loved it from the start, but now the gray line stuck in the middle of the screen has been there for too long (over a year, but luckily it is right between paragraphs with correctly formatted books so I lived with it) and I feel like it's time for a change.
Like others around here, I prefer buttons over touch for page turning. But seeing the current market I guess chances are good I'll end up with a touch-only reader...
After looking around for some time, I was tempted by a Cybook Odysseyr HD FrontLight. The
video posted in this
thread convinced me to check the new Kindle Paperwhite.
The reviews seem all positive, and I'm really tempted to go for this one even if it doesn't have buttons to turn page.
My biggest complaint is this damn "pay to get rid of the ads" thing. I find it simply disgusting and would have prefered a device sold at higher price and not a word about this crap. But hey, this is the world we live in and I shouldn't be surprised about this I guess. Anyway.
I use Instapaper a lot, mainly to read long articles on the iPad, but I just thought this morning that maybe there could be a way to read my articles on my e-reader. After looking around a bit, it seems that Kindle is the reader that integrates Instapaper more easily. Still I thought I would ask around here in case I missed something?
I use my reader mainly at home, so wi-fi always available. I don't want to connect it to the computer just to read articles when going to bed.
Well, that's about it. If you have some suggestions, let me know, it might change my mind before I make a move (the new paperwhite isn't available here until October 23rd anyway). I'm not a big fan of Kobo. I don't know much about the Sony readers and since they have been around for so long I was thinking maybe they got something that could be interesting for me? And I'm in Canada by the way.
Thank you in advance.
