I love e-ink devices. I love the comfort of reading on an e-ink display. But this. This is a deal breaker.

@x_cli you can still read books on the old Kindles. You can still copy them on to it with USB. It just can't buy books from one store any more.
@Edent @x_cli I still think a kindle 4, which could be bought for around 40€ at some point, once loaded with thousands of books on it, while fiting inside your jeans pocket, remains one of the most fantastic modern object that can be.
(Combine it with a solar portable batterie and you got food for soul for the rest of your life)

@villapirorum that's what I use my old #Kindle for, as a pocket library.
On the other side, I would like to read new books and won't buy a new Kindle.
I see a big problem for #selfpublishers being dependent of #Amazon - they will wonder why more people don't buy their books. Time for them to search alternatives for selling #ebooks.
