Am I the only one?

Generally I'd say you are not the only one... but I have to confess the Kindle has very slyly won over not just myself but my previously anti-Amazon hubby. It just works, and it does it well. Kobo is good too, don't get me wrong (I swap between Kindle and Kobo)... but the newer devices haven't won me over - they keep messing around with the design. I actually *like* the fact that the Kindles have pretty much kept the same form factor for years. Don't mess with a good thing!
I won't be holding my breath for any of the other devices though. I have no interest in Alexa... We have a Google Home Mini, but only because it cost us $0 and we wanted to play with it...but don't use it much at all to be honest. "Smart devices" still leave me feeling uneasy generally so I will not be a quick adopter.
