Finally have time to read @pluralistic’s “Enshittification”. Really late to the party but love Cory’s work so I’m thrilled. And it’s a lovely spring evening here in Montana.
Irony of using a kindle — partly solved by it being jailbroken and buying the book from @craphound

@jolness @pluralistic @craphound It's so tiny.

@prietschka @pluralistic @craphound it’s an *old* kindle paperwhite! I think it’s a 2018 model. I want one with a bigger screen but it works fine (battery life is still insanely good) and it fits in my back pocket which is nice for the rare occasions I don’t have my backpack with me. I’ve done so much research about e-readers but I don’t want to give amazon money and other options like Kobo have their own downsides.

I have just made my shift away from the Amazon / Kindle ecosystem and went with this: PocketBook Versa Pro.

This is small and fits in pockets (ha, ha) much better than the Kindle Paperwhite that I had.

They have their own store and cloud sync, and it is a European stack.

Considered Kobo, as it is Canadian, but decided against another "big" integrated system.

Can buy my books from Kobo, but still have to be locked into DRM (Adobe Digital Edition) from there, and they sync fine onto the PocketBook
