There was an article recently talking about how forums are still around. Has a decent list too:

Preach! I hate knowing that GV is basically on autopilot as a project at Google. They don’t seem to ever treat it like it matters to them.

I’ve got a Palma. Love it.

Like others here, I keep wifi off while I’m reading and only turn it on to update my Omnivore articles or update my saved position in a book (using Kindle or Kobo apps).

I have no idea how the battery holds up for the people who are trying to use it as a phone (ie using it a lot for browsing or chatting and other battery-heavy apps).

I just wanted a phone sized eReader that could let me install apps other than just a bookstorr. The Palma fits that bill wonderfully.

the regular P9 is 128GB only

I’ve got the regular pixel 9 with 256. It’s not limited to 128, it just is the base model size.

This was pretty much my reaction as well.

Wow that’s an amazing run you’ve given that kindle! I used to have that one as well, years ago.

If you are sticking in the Amazon/Kindle world, then a new Kindle (whether you go with the base Kindle or the Paperwhite) you’ll have a much faster experience for sure. The newer eink readers now can do several page turns without any real visual flash of the refresh. It’s a small thing but very nice.

The Paperwhite has a backlight which is helpful for night reading. You’ll also get dark mode in the new software (not sure if your keyboard kindle has stayed up to date with software updates or not). Also there’s waterproofing.

The base kindle just loses the light and the waterproofing.

If you’re not going to stick with Amazon, take a look at the Kobo readers. They’re a great alternative to people not stuck in the Amazon world.
