Yeah fair point, though there was a 5+ year period without the big screen model. Also the scribe apparently is fairly mediocre - https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/28/24328287/amazon-kindle-s...

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...
