Most times I don't notice whether there's an ad or the Kindle lockscreen.
I got a Fintie cheapie cover that adds a milimeter or so to each side and activates the auto off/on.
So it's just: flip the cover, swipe, and read.
On the old Pocketbook and sony it was cover, power button, and read.
No difference. But the screen is much nicer. And the size and weight great. Smaller and lighter the the old PB360, which was my favorite.
And, yes, waiting on a sale pays off; I got the 32Gb for $99. Plus $10 for the cover.
This year Prime day will be delayed, if not cancelled outright, but they'll find another excuse to discount it anyway. (Reopening day?)
Features? I don 't bother with them but cross platform sync, even on webscription books, is useful when I'm on the tablet.
And neither my mother or me have had a kindle crash on us.
Beats the old days by a mile.
Today's readers are as good for reading as can be, regardless of brand.
