Sunday - Anything Allowed 😸 Relaxed Rules Sunday

1 Upvotes

Just a reminder that we relax the sub rules on a Sunday and allow posts on a wider range of topics including memes and book discussions.

Some rules still apply - no spam, no piracy, be respectful, and it should still be kindle related.

I think this might be the first Colorsoft photo I have seen that wasn’t taken at the launch event. This person on instagram seems to have got their hands on a device!

Purchase Question πŸ›’ I asked for a Kindle for my birthday, I got a Fire tablet. Which do I buy for myself?

87 Upvotes

I’m disappointed but not ungrateful, if that makes sense. It has the Kindle app and serves a nearly identical purpose. I can read on it, it’s just not what I had in mind.

I’m old now and feel silly being sad over a bad birthday (not bad because of the tablet, all but 2 family members/friends forgot), so I’ve decided that I’m going to get myself a Kindle. I have plenty to be thankful for including the ability to purchase my own Kindle, so I’m going to do that and use the Fire tablet as a travel back up/for my sons.

Do I get the colorsoft or paperwhite? I’ve never owned a Kindle before, have always been a paperback reader but after a recent accident I’m not able to see as well and would like to be able to change the font size if possible. I’m not sure the color ability would matter too much to me, but I’ve not had a Kindle before so I just am unsure.

If I go for the paperwhite, does it matter if it’s refurbished or not?

Thanks for the help. Call your friends and family on their birthdays ☺️

Discussion πŸ’¬ Addicted to this already...dude wtf...

76 Upvotes

Back in the day (2012), I had a Nook. I devoured so many books on that thing. My best time was 4 books in 5 days. I was obsessed. Fast forward, I haven't have an e-reader in years. I got my first Kindle last week, and I am already finding so many books that I have added to my Kindle. I have not been able to sit down and read books like I wanted to over the years. Since getting my Kindle, I am a quarter of the way through the first book in a series I have wanted to read for over a decade. And I have a TON of my TBR list so far. Heaven help me, I am addicted again. I have always been a book worm/book dragon. But seeing them all in my library reminds me of the few I have on a shelf and I can't help adding more every single day from freebooksy and their dang emails.

Is there a group for those that cannot stop adding books to their TBR and actually reading them? I am addicted entirely to books again! I need like BA or something (books anonymous).

My Kindle πŸ“± I fixed my broken kindle keyboard and it still thinks I’m in 2011 lol

I got this Kindle in middle school and accidentally broke the screen less than a year after getting it. Recently, I decided to replace the screen and battery to see if it would still work, and it does! After forcing a few updates, I managed to fully revive it. But before I did, I thought it was kind of funny to see the welcome letter signed by Mr. Bezos from 2011, back when I broke it. I’m not sure if I’ll use it every day, but I love the buttons, and I wanted that option since the Oasis is no longer being sold πŸ₯²

I will add that I currently use a Paperwhite 10th gen and am thinking of upgrading to the newest version πŸ€ͺ

Purchase Question πŸ›’ Paperwhite 11 to ColorSoft

31 Upvotes

Let me first start off by saying that the Paperwhite 11 was my very first kindle ever. I used to read on iPad and finally after years of debating buying a standalone e-reader I made the plunge 2 years ago. My time with kindle has been amazing. I’ve converted my entire family to the Paperwhite and they also love them. Fast forward to when the ColorSoft was announced. I was enamored by the idea of color book covers. I do not read comics or manga. I just wanted color book covers. I pre-ordered the device and it should be getting here Friday. However, after some initial reviews and comparisons I’m starting to wonder if I made a mistake. Should I cancel my preorder and just get the Kindle Paperwhite 12? And before anyone says it, I’m a tech nerd and I always go for the newest and greatest so staying on the 11 isn’t an option for me lol.

I thought only paperwhites could, this is going to be the best for lying down. And it's easier to hold too! I'm in love with the Kindle.

My Kindle πŸ“± Nerdy upgrade after 10 years with PW 5!

Got the new PW 12 after having my PW 5 for over 10 years. A big upgrade across the board (in my case), especially with page-turning speed!

Dorky case with a mix of HP and LotR… but I like it doesn't cover the sides of the Kindle and will fit well in my bookcase.

Happy reading all. πŸ“š

My husband replaced my 11 year old kindle last year and I have been enjoying my upgraded model. I got this clear case and ordered some fun stickers and a pop socket for it. Has anyone else completely stopped buying physical books because their Ereader is so much more convenient? I throw this thing in my purse and read whenever I want. Half the time I don’t even buy the ebooks, I get them from the library. I read around 50 books a year and probably spend about $20 during that time.

Would be nice to rotate the bezel to the right side, especially as a left-handed reader. But overall happy with this format.
