I'm just re-discovering the 2015 Kindle paper white I bought years ago and had stopped using...because overall I had started reading less. I'm using it with a new appreciation for how great of a form factor it is for my hands + a pop socket. Carry it with me everywhere, tucks into my jacket pocket or backpack when I'm heading to work.

I'm not the biggest fan of Amazon, but I load it with Calibre so where possible I try to get my ebooks from elsewhere.

Anyway Im wondering what you all are reading on and why. What're the latest advances in ereader technology since 2015? Am I missing out on something?

I have the previous generation of Kindle Oasis, but I don’t get books from Amazon. I either get them through the Libby app (that’s my first choice, the best way to support the public library is by using it), or I download them from someplace else and use Calibre to transfer them.

I like the backlight for reading at night because I can set it to a brightness and temperature that are barely noticeable but help my eyes feel less strained. Also it’s lightweight and the case is a nice shape and texture so it doesn’t make my RSI/nerve pain worse. A definite step up from the 2nd gen original kindle I’d had since 2010 or so.
