Jumped the Barnes and Noble ship

Jumped the Barnes and Noble ship
First couple days with a kindle after making the jump from Barnes and Noble Nook and i am obsessed! Forgive me while I rave a little bit:So far I love it! Still getting used to how it works as I'm so used to how Nooks work and it's not quite the same. I love how it dynamically adjusts estimated time left based on you current reading speed, as sometimes I am more distracted than others. I also like how it connects right to goodreads and you can directly do updates from the book.I also love how sleek it is compared to my Nook Glowlight 3. I bought a refurbished 2018 edition of the paperwhite and for them being released only a year apart, the design so much cleaner. The screens are the same size, but the housing is so much bulkier on the Nook. That and I can get more low-profile cases. All the Nook cases add so much bulk.Now if only I could get all my Nook books on my kindle. I managed to get all of my DRM free ones on, but I have about 70 books that are a no go😭.I do miss the warm light feature that my Nook Glowlight 3 had. I know this is available on the Oasis, but I hope they will come out with this feature in the paperwhite in the future.As far as battery life goes, it's on 75% after 2 days. I don't think it will last weeks like people state a new one does, but it could just be because I'm messing around in menus and settings more than I normally would because it's new. Overall, I'm not overly concerned about battery life since I'm primarily reading at home anyways.Despite that, I'm happy with making the switch so far as I don't forsee B&N actually continuing with Nook for too much longer as they seem to be putting less and less effort into their e-readers compared to their counterparts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2021
This is a surprisingly comfortable device to hold and makes reading easy. Overall not great for comics, as there is no colour. Definitely better for reading than my iPad. Software is slow but battery life is great. So get it for the reading experience but not because of the software. That isn't great.
