#23Side tangent: I’m the developer of Kindle Comic Converter. Kindle updates 5.19.2+ have completely broken the sideloaded manga reader with bugs like huge margins, pages being on the wrong side in 2 page landscape mode, no panel view, no % read tracker, and laggy page turns. I’ve documented the problems here and the first report was 50 days ago. https://youtu.be/Eo6K7omlE7g
And I haven’t even touched all the problems with normal sideloaded books like broken embedded/publisher fonts.

#25I wanted to upgrade to the new Paperwhite. Went through three of them with permanently lit pixels right in the middle of the screen until I gave up. Seems the quality control on these e-ink screens is really slipping. Meanwhile all the competitors are either selling the same old hardware from years ago, an Android tablet with an e-ink screen strapped to it, or color models that just have worse text rendering. My 2013 Paperwhite keeps soldiering on.
