The dealbreaker for me is now that I’ve used a paper white I can’t not use a backlit kindle. Most of my reading is at bedtime and it makes it so much more enjoyable.
Agreed, the buttons on the Kindle Keyboard are much better than the touch screen on newer models. Seems like page turning buttons are now only available on the premuim versions!
The screens are much better on the new ones though.
Glad it's not just me -- I felt like the larger eink screen + physical keyboard hit a really nice sweet spot for an ereader tablet and nothing else I've tried has quite dialed it in the same.
I would also love to see larger screen Kindle like DX. I loved it so much. Nowadays I'm using Boox and it's fine, but Kindle DX 2021 would be nicer as a reading device.
I've tried the newer Kindles, and keep going back to the KK and DX.
Well, I would make one change. Have the last page read be the screen display when off instead of those boring and useless pictures it shows.
