Hi.

I have an old Amazon Kindle Paperwhite that is showing signs of its age. So I have to start thinking about replacing it.

So I have been really happy with both the Paperwhite and the Kindle store. But I have realised that I should be moving away from Amazon as it's not really a company I would like to keep supporting.

So what are the current best options out there. Mostly reading non fiction books, so no need for colour. But a bookstore with a good selection is critical.

Photo unrelated. But a great read/listen about the dust-bowls in the 1920's.

Another happy Libra 2 owner. I came from an older Kindle Paperwhite. There was a week or so of adjustment to some minor gripes, but not sending more money to Amazon was worth it to me.

it's slightly larger and heavier
it's slightly less responsive
the dark mode button isn't on the main reading screen, it's buried in a menu screen

You can install custom interfaces but I haven't dug too deeply into that. I tried Koreader briefly but it looked like a Linux window manager from 1995 and I didn't have time to tinker with it so I rolled back to stock.
