It wouldn't happen this way if it were a Lightning cable, just saying.
From frequent use of the middle button because of the dictionary, the middle button area also looks horribly worn, unlike other Kindles of the same age I spot in the wild, but that's a different story.
All in all it seems to be, my best bet would be the Kindle again from monopolist Amazon with its questionable company policies and closed file format. OK, I'm fine with that! I really wanted to give other players a try.  |
You can sideload from other places to a kindle. I have books from here on my kindle.
No, you can't do epub but then while you can do mobi on a Kobo, it doesn't always render well.
Every ereader has its limitations.
It would only be a closed system if I had to buy all my books from Amazon.
Come to think of it, I have some ARCS that came straight from the authors on my Kindle.
