Eink needs gentler handling than your average tablet or phone.
Ah, I didn't know that! Thanks!

Amazon Spain seems to be expanding its portuguese operation since Brexit, as a lot of us used to order from co.uk. Still sucks though, I'm also a Prime member because that's the only way they'll let me pay extra for express shipment. Can't order a Kindle, no ebooks, no fast free shiping just the option to pay more
