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 have a 2011 kindle, the silver one with no backlight . I got second hand from a friend and I use calibre on linux to convert books to the amazon format and copy them over via USB. It does the job but I have seen that these are like 20 ducats on eBay and other places if anyone wants a cheap option.

Cool, I wonder which type of color technology this uses though, I can't seem to find that info.

I would prefer Gallery over Kaleido, but I'm guessing it's Kaleido because of the different ppi listed between the b&w and color modes.

Have you ever actually used gallery? it sucks

Does it still? Refresh time looked much improved with Gallery 3 so I thought it was better now. The ReMarkable is the only device I know that uses it and I haven't had the chance to try it yet.
