Kindle alternatives I have used: Kobo has much better hardware at a reasonable price and even sells some books as DRM-free e-pubs, and is much more friendly to digital library lending like Libby (my model: Libra Colour) Boox sells android tablets with e-ink screens, so they work just like an android phone/tablet, can use pressure sensitive EMR styluses, and some models have high refresh rate displays that can even handle video playback; not a great video experience but it exists (my model: Note Air 4C) I got a Kindle Paperwhite a few years back because I have built up a substantial library on kindle over the past decade and a half, but only because I intended to jailbreak it and take it with me kayaking (it's rated for seawater). I am no longer building a library on kindle, it's offline-only and mainly used for titles unavailable on other platforms. There are e-readers in all shapes and sizes (palm/micro e-readers are becoming popular options), anything is better than a Kindle!
