Meanwhile Kobo is still shipping firmware updates to devices from the same time period...

And even the ePub readers that have been left behind can still work with new books.

After all the kindle is a hard disk with a nice screen.

This is why having the actual pdf is better, if you can't have it offline you don't own it digitally, if you can't give it to another person or copy it or modify it then you don't own it to it simply attached to your account even with offline access.

I really wish the Libby app worked with devices other than Kindle. I got a Kindle because I wanted to check out eBooks from the library and read them on an eInk screen.

Wish, the highest of all possible languages
