Bluetooth page turner is nice but at this point I have zero interest in a Kindle unless I can load KOReader on it. I might buy one of these if they go on a sale and leave it in a drawer until it's jailbroken. I love my PW5 (jailbroken) but I'd buy a Kobo if they had a 7" screen (Clara) since that's easier to get KOReader on.

Sadly, my next ebook won't be a Kindle. I'm leaning more towards Kobo when it needs a replacement, as I don't really like that Amazon has the ability to delete all my purchased (or non-purchased) ebooks remotely on the push of a button.
They already deleted my books once so it stays since then in plane mode, and I recovered everything with Calibre.

These look great! I still have a Kindle Voyage from 2015 that's going strong, though I do wish it had the warmer LED lights. It's nice to have some devices like this and my Fujifilm XT-30 that don't make me feel the constant need for upgrading.

Weird how there is still no real successor for the Voyage. They somehow refuse to release a 6-inch device with warm light and a light sensor for auto brightness.
And with the lack of immersion reading on e-ink devices, I don't think I want to buy another Kindle again.

Just as I’m modding my 2018 Paperwhite to add buttons and a bluetooth remote.

We're in a post-literate society where most adults can't even finish 1 book a year. The fact that kindles are still a thing is kind of shocking.

Books are arguably selling better than ever. It's just becoming a hobby people participate in as part of a larger community instead of a universal activity. Breakout successes tend to be things that appeal to women active on social media, a group that has very little overlap with the typical HN audience.

Adding page-turn buttons to the cover sounds clever.

Yeah, I ran to find the product page - only to find that it "Fits 2026 Releases Only". Agh!
Also it only fits the Signature Editions and will only be available in March (in the UK, at least).
I'm still mourning the Oasis :(

I don't see them on amazon.nl, despite the article saying they're available starting today.

It looks like they’ve finally switched over to plant based leather. Good to see them move away from animal products in the accessories. Now if they could treat the humans that work for them better we’d really be cooking.

Amazon is a terrible company. Switched away from their Kindle and predatory business practices.

Do you have a recommendation for an ebook?

I'm not the guy you asked, but I personally switched to Kobo.

I've been super happy with my boox. Full android, so you can install the Kindle app if needed. But it can natively read just about every format.
I sync books through Dropbox. Seamless as can be. (And no DRM or "leasing" nonsense)

I switched to Kobo. Not that I’m a fan of Rakuten, but kobo so far remains open and modifiable should you want that

I just switched to a color Kobo from the previous generation Kindle Paperwhite. I like it.
