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 an older Kindle Oasis - but 90% of the time I use a mostly dedicated 10" Android tablet. I prefer the colors, especially when reading non-fiction and working with highlights. There's also a satisfaction to seeing my library in color. I also like the better browser and ability to read other types of books (including graphic novels) on the fly. Plus, the tablet has USB-c, so charging is easier.

If traveling and space is an issue, or there will be a lot of sunshine, I grab the Kindle.

An old ipad Air. Good size, great for comics and pdf-books.

It's starting to run a little slow and there isn't a lot of storage space on it. Once it goes kaput, another tablet is probably what I'm picking up. Hate the Apple ecosystem.
