i've got a paperwhite
it works pretty well and the books are free so i don't have any complaints

>>15127283
huh, little lord fauntleroy over here with his 110 bucks to spare. I've just got done spending tons of buckaroos on buying my first car(volvo s40 since you asked) i dont want to spend any more you see...

>>15127305
no one cares about your gay ass car. buy a used kindle if you can’t afford a new one.

>>15127305
if you don't have any money to spend on an ereader, then why the fuck are you asking for recommendations?
go fuck yourself while you hunch over your laptop

>>15127274
Kindle Paperwhite. You can put all the .mobi books on it you want for free. My 93 year old grandma who wouldn't dream of using a computer likes hers. My dad is a huge fan of his too. I just got one and I like it so far.

>>15127274
I've got the one in your pic -- the kindle keyboard. It's larger than newer models, has physical buttons, and has an older e-ink display which more resembles real paper. Some call it the patrician's choice.

>>15127351
Wrong. The true patrician uses the Kindle Kids Edition

I am reading trap porn on my ereader atm

Not sure if you're OP or not, but my dad jumped on the e-reader wagon really early and got a Sony e-reader before the Kindle was released. New e-readers are far better. They have back lighting, the page turns are quicker, and they can hold more books. If you're thinking of buying some old random e-reader for $30 instead of shelling out for a Kindle, save up an extra $80 instead.

thank you mr amazon representative, smegma directly from our overlord bezos is going to be deposited in your bank account
faggot

You gonna just talk shit or do you have a better reaction you double jannie?

thanks for the advice on the backlight situation, i didnt know that. Americans are so much more pleasant, its fun staying up with my friend insomnia, even on 4chan, the designated shitting street of the internet, 4chan is reliably & predictably better on freedom hours. When im on 4chan during normal hours in my europoor country it just goes downhill, filled with brits(as corroborated by advertising metrics) and some french and germans. The place becomes filled with snide attitudes, uncreative discussion and malicious intent along with a general cynicism permeates the place. Being awake at these hours is like holiday:)

>>15127438
don't listen to that cheap whore, get a used kobo they are cheap have backlight and you don't need to join mr bezos little pretty girl club

>>15127457
y-yes sir. Thank you for your generous wisdom. I can be your pretty girl anytyme youd like sir big freedum american sir

also while im here,any of you libertarians got a copy mr theodor kaz1nskys rantings? i feel like showing society the middle finger !

>>15127499
They aren't that hard to find.

Pic related: It was the Unabomber's published submission in a Harvard alumni report

>>15127557
true, but id be concerned about acquiring a copy, reading it & calling the experience concluded, except the material may have been edited by adversarys of free speech. Id trust 4chin to be able to supply a true to the author copy

*crack*play stupid games, win stupid prizes*siips*

>>15127274
Kindle Oasis is the only reasonable recommendation. Anything else you might as well not buy one at all

Here's another good one, it's a citation in a mathematics article.

>>15127688
really makes you etc

>>15127283
This. Kindle paperwhite is great, and even if you spend 100 bucks upfront you get access to millions of books for free with libgen or zlib so you end up saving a shit ton of money.

>>15127688
kek

>>15127351
Shitty resolution compared to the newer models. It'd be cool as fuck if someone had a guide on swapping out the display for a more modern one while keeping the chassis.

Kobo Clara HD.
Don't fool yourself with the "ergonomics", "extra backlights", or waterproof memes.
Don't give the megamonopoly Amazon even more dominance over the market, and then also limit yourself with their DRM bullshit and incompatability with epubs.
Don't spend more than you need to.
The Clara is simple: you read on it. What the fuck else do you want an e-reader for? No use getting distracted, you're gonna want to be focused on the book 99% of the time. Just go for this cheap option and import infinite free epubs.

>Don't fool yourself with the "ergonomics", "extra backlights", or waterproof memes.
"Dude you don't need all that extra stuff it's just a meme. Who cares if you won't be able to read in darker areas or feel comfortable holding it."
>Don't give the megamonopoly Amazon even more dominance over the market, and then also limit yourself with their DRM bullshit and incompatability with epubs.
Literally 2 clicks from epub to mobi/azw3. Oh fuuuck that drm really stopped me nooo. Not to mention that Kobo had an issue with charging ports on one of their models and told people to eat shit when they wanted them fixed. Meanwhile Chad daddy Bezos' slaves will bend over backwards to get your shit replaced ASAP.
>Don't spend more than you need to.
Clara and Paperwhite are the same price.
>The Clara is simple: you read on it. What the fuck else do you want an e-reader for? No use getting distracted, you're gonna want to be focused on the book 99% of the time. Just go for this cheap option and import infinite free epubs.
What the fuck are you getting distracted by on an ereader you autistic spaz???

You're a retarded faggot and should have someone beat you to death with your Kobo, homo.

>>15129259
So you're saying the only reason to get a kindle is to broadcast your latent homosexuality? Thanks that certainly does clear things up.

>>15129395
>get shit on for being a retarded faggot
>N-NO YOU!!! :'(
yeah

>>15129663
No need to act so assblasted about it kid.

>>15127274
can you upload your own epubs, or do you have to read amazon approved NWO books only

>>15129684
You'll need to install open sores bloatware to convert epubs into kindle trash format. Totally worth it.

Bought my Kobo Glo HD in 2014, haven't had any problems.

>>15129675
lol

>>15129684
You install calibre, click like 3 buttons and wa-lá. Done.

>>15130063
Stay mad, you soulless creature of burden, for your load will only continue to grow as you shamelessly continue to sin by making out like a thief in the night with the oxygen and time of those more deserving than you.

>>15129684
dont listen to the faggot criticizing the processing power of calibre, you open it, send 15 books in whatever format you want, and dont open it again for months.

>>15130555
Lol calm down

Kobo for a truly patrician experience

>when i get in the mood to read a book, its by a lamp with a warm bulb luminescence, a comfy armchair, a herbal tea & a ergonomic small rectangle to read from

>>15131635
Fuck off, op wants to enjoy himself with a book - the people who say you have to treat reading like a fucking job haven't done any of the shit they prescribe.
