There are so, so many better ebook readers to choose from. Honestly just a phone with an oled screen is better than kindle.
No it isn't Eink is eink
Kindles are pretty decent ereaders if you don't connect them to amazon's ecosystem and just keep them in airplane mode. And unlike phones, they can hold a charge after a few years.
As much as I hate proprietary shit, Kindle is just the best ebook reader out there. It lasts forever, in terms of both battery life and the device itself, smooth, top notch UI... etc
When I first bought my new Kindle PW, I immediately turned on Airplane mode and never turned it off. I use Calibre & DRM free ebooks and I had 0 issues.
