I may have misunderstood your comments on Kindles. How are they the worst tech product you use, if you also think they’re the best at their intended purpose? Do you mean that you still find e-ink technology lacking, but there is nothing better?
I can't remember the last time they added a new feature that was useful. I used to actually read the newspaper on it but they killed it. They used to make a giant one which was kind of a cool idea, but they killed it. Etc..
But yes it's good for reading in bed. That is why I use it regularly and the only thing I use it for.
They have a new(er) big one, the scribe
Also I at this point I have a mental block on spending more than $250 for any Kindle after years of dealing with their mediocrity.
So I'd rather take a spin with a new device from a new company than hope this time after nearly 20 years Amazon really figured it out...
I liked the form factor better than paper white, because the margin had space for your hand to not accidentally touch-advance the page, plus the physical page turn buttons.
So if my Oasis dies, I'm left with the $400 scribe that is a price point I care if its good, or $150 paperwhite which I already know I dislike the form factor!
Hence trying Daylight..
