I'm just re-discovering the 2015 Kindle paper white I bought years ago and had stopped using...because overall I had started reading less. I'm using it with a new appreciation for how great of a form factor it is for my hands + a pop socket. Carry it with me everywhere, tucks into my jacket pocket or backpack when I'm heading to work.

I'm not the biggest fan of Amazon, but I load it with Calibre so where possible I try to get my ebooks from elsewhere.

Anyway Im wondering what you all are reading on and why. What're the latest advances in ereader technology since 2015? Am I missing out on something?

I go the calibre route as well, I have the cheapest basic kindle it is super light and very small I can even fit it in most pockets.

I really enjoy the curation of a bookstore so I usually end up side loading an epub of my physical purchases. I’ll typically switch back and forth I just finished “The Way of Kings” the hardcover was gigantic and unwieldy at times but the maps were so much better than the kindle version.
