I upgraded to this after using my Kindle Keyboard for the last 14 years, so I may be too easily impressed by this. But honestly, it's stunning! The text quality is pixel perfect, the lighting options are very customisable, it's light and thin despite having a nice big screen, and the loading times are vastly better.
What I love most is how well it handles manga. Unlike comic books and magazines, manga is predominantly black and white so it suits e-ink screens perfectly. Plus I got 3 months of Kindle Unlimited free when buying this and there's a great selection of manga to read on there.
One tiny downside is that you can't customise thumbnails for any documents you upload yourself. But that really is a minor nitpick. Otherwise, I'm over the moon with this!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Love it for reading manga!
