I’ll check them out!

That does sound temping!

That’s cool! Yea I’ve looked at the Kobo devices. I think for me, the lower cost of the kindle, especially with the ad supported version (which I bypassed by literally never connecting it to Wi-Fi), was a big plus for me at the time. I assume Amazon subsidized some of the cost assuming you’d buy from their store. I just sideloaded all my ebooks of course.

When it dies I’ll definitely be looking for a new option.

Nah, I remember my first car I took it to Best Buy and had them install an Aux cable so I could play music from my phone. Literally never went back to radio. Not to say it’s a bad medium, I just prefer constant music without interruption.

Suggestions? I still have an early gen kindle (that was ad supported), and I jailbroke it and have been pretty happy with it ever since.
