How did you go through six? I still rock my first and almost a decade old kindle

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Working in machine shops; I often had cycle time to read. Drops killed most of them. I had a few mysteriously die. When I would open them up, there was board and frame corrosion. Metal working fluids and fine metal chips are hell on electronics.

Dropped a few in the bathtub. Current kindle has been dropped in the bath, but survived. It may die due to corrosion. Battery is getting weak anyhow.

For years, I didn't use a cover. I now have one of the official Amazon covers and have gotten better longevity on my former and current kindles. My case has a crack in it due to a drop.

I consider them a consumable, they're cheap compared to the knowledge and pleasure they give me.

When you use them heavily some of the incremental improvements are nice to have. I swapped my mid 2010s Nook for an ~8in Boox 3y ago or so and it was a huge upgrade.

True that. I'm also looking to upgrade to something with a nicer display. I've got my eyes on Kobo, since they also seem rather hackable

Guttenberg never put a Frank Frazetta heroine on a book cover!

[-] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Frazetta art on a book is almost false advertising at this point. But, hear me out, Frazetta-style buff Jesus with a Valkyrie Mary Magdalene riding the seven-headed beast of the apocalypse…. Slap that cover on the Bible and we’ll be making money in no time!
