But then I read about things like Kindle automatically updating book covers in your library whether you want it to or not. And if you use .mobi or .azw files you don't get Kindle's nicer formatting, or even hyphenated words.
And the ads. And making them device specific instead of account specific.. It just seems like the richest man in the world is nickle and dimeing people.
In the US, the Nook Glowlight 3, Kobo Clara and Kindle Paperwhite are all comparable devices. 300ppi, e-ink Carta screens. 8GB storage. But the prices aren't. And don't tell me about sales. They all have sales.
Kobo Clara (ad-free): $119
Nook Glowlight 3 (ad-free): $119
Kindle Paperwhite (ad-supported): $129, (ad-free) $149
What are those ads supporting? |
For hyphenation, there is a calibre plugin. And azw3 has at least one benefit kfx has not: you can use the font_ramp hack (aka custom font sizes) with it.
