I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

I'd recommend everyone to buy a Kobo over these, it's much easier to read your own .pdf and .epub files than on a Kindle.

Amazon also bought up a comic distributor a while back which may make this easier to get the content I want.

I’ve never had issues emailing PDFs and epubs to my kindle address to read them.

I’ll need to check out kobu though, they have a color one that’s $100 cheaper.

interesting, my mum's kindle used to regularly wipe all ebooks i've sideloaded with calibre, only keeping it in airplane mode helped so far

Can second that email works great to send Epub, never had issues in years
