Unless some super deals show up on some electronics I don't necessarily need, an Echo Flex seems to be about the only thing I really need.

My wish list this year includes:
I'll probably pick up some more USB drives if there's a great deal there as well. |

Speaking of Kindles, does anyone think that a lot of memory is important to have?

define "a lot of memory".
As long as you don't care about using your kindle for audiobooks or graphic novels, even 2 GB is plenty, which means I believe everything other than the first gen kindle. I mean, the full Harvard Classics and bookshelf of fiction is something like 50 MB in azw3 format. Which is 70 volumes, each of about 400-450 pages |

I mean, the 4 GB officially offered by the basic kindle is probably fine for most (Though at one point people were randomly getting basic kindles with 8 GB).
Honestly, my phone probably does a better job at audiobooks and graphic novels than my kindle, so... EDIT: Apparently the specs (but not all the images) on the page for the basic kindle now say 8 GB... so... Last edited by binaryhermit; 10-02-2020 at 09:36 PM. |

What does a larger font have to do with storage.
(I understand your point regarding screen size and font size) |

Over the years, I’ve seen many conversations on these forums re: why must you have everything downloaded on your Kindle. Some find it useful, others don’t see a need. It’s a simply a matter of personal preference and the nature of the books owned. As I said before, the Oasis is useful if one has a very large collection or finds large print easier to read (the extra space makes a noticeable difference compared to the Paperwhite my husband uses). If there is no need for large print, a Kindle Paperwhite is fine. To each her/his own. |

What connections is there between the size of the print and memory storage? I gave my octogenarian Dad my old PW3 and he read happily with the font size at close to maximum. |
