Sometimes I'm tempted to buy a Kindle, just to play around with it. But stuff like requiring .KFX for the nicer typesetting (and the ads, don't forget the ads) keeps me away. For my purposes, I'm not sure that even a brand new Paperwhite would be any nicer than my 2015 6" Glowlight Plus.
You can buy an ad-free Kindle, you know.

For one thing, the PW sure would be faster than the Nook. My 2019 Nook is a terrible slouch compared to my Oasis, and my Libra is not much better in that regard. The Oasis is certainly the fastest of the three.

As to the software, a Kindle is much better than a Nook and has some options Kobos don't have. Of course they lack many options Kobos do have, they don't integrate with Calibre so well and you can't tinker with them like you can with a Kobo.

But all in all, I do still like my last remaining Kindle (the Oasis).
