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 Onyx Boox tablet, but that is 1/2 e-reader, 1/2 work tool for me.

Onyc Boox is the move!! I use it for reading at home plus notes in class and even as a basic computer on the go. Is yours black and grey or color?

[–] Csynthare@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Black and grey, had it for about three years. When I upgrade I'll go for color.

I've had mine for almost 2 years and it's black and grey too, the only color option was ~7" and I needed more room. But the new color ones look great!
