Last month I also bought the previous version (i reverted to the version) of KOBO AURA H2O (2 editions). https://fr.kobobooks.com/collections...IaAiqXEALw_wcB IMHO one of the best readers of books in terms of contrast and sharpness of the font (Which is crucial for me. Warm light is also great) The rubberized body and quality construction is just an extra bonus for me. PS: I don't need a better processor or more RAM, Wi-Fi 5GHz to turn the pages of the book ![]() Last edited by Michal Jancik; 09-27-2021 at 11:23 AM. |

The Kindle wikipedia page has been updated and apparently the Paperwhite would have the same processor as the Oasis, double the RAM at 1GB. It matches what an infamous website has stated in one of their articles. I'm just wondering how they can be that certain?

IMO, it's more likely this is based on a Mediatek chip than the processor in the Oasis. But what do I know?

They are never certain. Original research isn't allowed. Ideally the person editing cites a book or web page or a high profile bage can be reverted. Likely someone has simply quoted the "infamous website", or an author from it has updated Wikipedia. Yet curiously on average it's no more inaccurate than the Britannica. Which has mistakes. |

I know the collaborative aspect of Wikipedia, but still, I'm surprised it has already been updated before the release of the Kindle and I suspect it might be based on the infamous website's article.

I loved my Voyage. LURVED it. And then, the charging port just wouldn't charge. I tried to replace it (6 years later, to be fair) and eeeek!, they weren't making them anymore. So, idiot that I am, I got an Oasis, and God, I hate it. For one thing, I'm a bony old thing, and the corner digs into my hand, the bottom fleshy part of the palm, something fierce. I don't want to hold it with two hands, dammit. I would have needed this new device, probably, for testing anyway. BUT, I'm hoping it's a solid replacement for my LLLV (Late Lamented Loved Voyage).

Also some people can't be bothered with Download to PC, import to Calibre, create ePub, usb copy. Many people with Kindles use WiFi (or cell) for Amazon download even though they'd be better off with Download to PC and usb copy. |

I don't count Apple and B&N since they use different DRM. But, if the code for the source ePub is simple enough, then there's really no reason to need to test on different Kindles. |

KF7 only Kindles. KF7 models that later got KF8 Kindles that always had KF8 167 dpi vs 300 dpi Kindles. There are some things (simple epub conversion) where the KK3 @ 167 dpi using KF8 is similar to the Kobo @ 300 dpi, but the 300 dpi PW3 is wrong! Any existing style already tested on a kindle doesn't need tested with a new ebook from epub. But any new style or edit to a style needs tested. We also check the Amazon retail downloads when a new/revised style is used in the epub. Amazon may not create the same KF7/KF8/KFX from the epub upload as Calibre creates. We don't much care about KFX and only test an Amazon download. Last edited by Quoth; 09-28-2021 at 08:42 AM. |

Meh. 6.8 isn't that much of an upgrade over 6". I couldn't recommend it as an upgrade to someone with a 6". The price is nice, but if your PW is perfectly functional, it's not worth it.
And "advanced" users you can't install koreader anymore. Better to go with a Kobo. Shame the 8" Forma is so pricey. |
