A Few Years With Kindle Paperwhite 7th
#Gadgets
I've been using Kindle Paperwhite 7th since 2021, here are a few notes on the experience.
What I liked:
- The e-ink screen is gorgeous for reading. Especially during the daytime.
- The battery life is so crazy that It feels like a non-electronic always ready-to-use device.
- It's a compact featherweight, and very pleasant device to use in general.
What I didn't like:
- A bit lack of screen real estate. 6" is too small for the size of font I'm comfortable with
- It's bad for anything that is not an e-book. It's terrible for PDFs, articles from the web, and anything with code.
- Black & white display is quite limiting for some content. Especially for code due to a lack of syntax highlight
- I found out that dropping a few notes in addition to text highlights is very inconvenient because of the responsiveness of the e-ink and on-screen input.
Solution:
- Colorful display
- More responsive display or stylus input support for notes
- Larger display
There was an upgrade of Paperwhite and I started to think that it might be a good replacement for my old one.
And then I thought: "Wait. There are so many cool devices on the market. What if I don't lock myself in an Amazon store".
Then I started research and came across the Boox Air4 C which seemed to be a perfect upgrade. Controversially, I started considering iPad as well: Thoughts on iPad Mini 7 vs Boox Air4 C
