wife has a kindle. it works but its part of the amazon ecosystem that im trying to distance myself from. you know for sure your kindle is reporting back everything you do with it, the Nook, not so much. at least from what ive read on the matter. ive also read (not confirmed it myself) that amazon can change the text of your ebooks on the kindle and also remove them arbitrarily. this was a while ago, maybe its true maybe not.
Actually they did that already in 2009, ironically they deleted George Orwells 1984 and Animal Farm from users devices. Also in some instances it was reported that Harry Potter magically disappeared from people's devices:

I didn't find any exact information on what telemetry information the kindle collects and reports back to device-metrics-us.amazon.com but I am pretty confident they know everything about your reading habits.
thanks for the link. did a real quick search but couldnt find anything.
yeah how soon until language in mark twains huckleberry finn is changed to switch to "politically correct" terms in place of what are currently considered offensive terms. being public domain at this point i wonder if they could just do it with no legal repercussions.

Fuck amazon, fuck Google
Anyone who supports this shit company deserves their books to be deleted

They can change the text but they will not because the author of the book could sue them for changing their rightful property. Amazon are a marketplace and the authors sell their creations on it. The only way Amazon could change the book contents legally is if the author went through Amazon's book publishing otherwise they would open themselves up for legal battles. interesting.. so (say) the government could pressure amazon that the history books that you bought and own on your kindle can be "revised" - just pressure the author or whatever.
no thanks.
whats on my Nook never changes. my historic and scientific stuff will never be "improved" to match the current political climate.

I love my kindle. its what, 5 years old, battery last forever, has wifi. I use it with Calibre, download and read the Economist for free on it every week or any book/magazine/news you find online for that matter. I never paid for a single ebook yet and dont plan to. Thats how I live my whole life. Renting/subscription models can suck my satoshi

but anyway i also use calibre its awesome for ereaders to organize stuff and convert between formats.
both the kindle and nooks have great battery life even with the reading light on.
Nook also takes standard SD cards for memory expansion. the kindle (at least the one my wife has) does not. both my Nooks do have SD card slots.
Nook also seems to have a better user interface to me.
edit: i do buy a lot of ebooks through the Nook but the bulk of my stuff is free or like 99 cent sales and such. of course you can also side load anything you find if thats your thing.

I am sick of the subscription models that are now plaguing our world. As a graphics designer you need Adobe products and you could just buy them many years ago for a one time fee but now you have to pay a very expensive subscription per month or year to be able to use their latest versions and the annoying thing is they have removed their download links for their old software which forces old customers who bought the one time payment product to convert if they lose that installer.

Large hodlers accumulate Bitcoin below $50K as BTC transactions over $1M soar
The dominance of Bitcoin transactions of values above $1 million has doubled year-over-year, hinting at a rising institutional involvement in the cryptocurrency space.

With Bitcoin's market dominance increasing and the bullish trend, BTC is in a great position to reach new resistances and go on a rampage...
Still a later under 4 months for us to get a new ATH who knows.... August 10, 2021, 05:01:27 AM

With Bitcoin's market dominance increasing and the bullish trend, where do you see Bitcoin going by the end of the month?
50k at least.
