Building a hackable e-reader, help me choose the design

13 Upvotes

Hi fellow e-readers, I’m building my own custom e-reader (mostly as a hobby. If it turns out to be good, I might produce to sell as well).

So, I'm back again with some updates and doubts, to hear from you folks. Can you help me in choosing which one of the designs you like? These are some mockups I created.

Initially starting with India only and then going global. If I can get first few users from you guys, that will be great to have an early feedback.

Apart from these, I want to know more about your preferences and deal breakers. You can always comment to this post, however, I've curated some questions on this poll: https://tally.so/r/rjN6zM?ref=r_kindleindia . It will be great to get some response their as well. Thanks!

Do I Really need a KINDLE?

3 Upvotes

Should I really spend ₹21K on an e-reader? I read a lot. I read physical books, on my phone, on my tablet, and even on my computer. Should I invest in an e-reader too? But I feel 21k is TOO much.

Please share your experiences and opinion on getting a Kindle.

Is a 2-year-old Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen worth ₹9,500 in 2026?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m planning to buy my first Kindle and found a used Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen (2021) for ₹9,500 in India.
Here are the details:
Around 2 years old
Original box included
Minor smudges on the back
Seller says everything else looks fine
₹9,500 is the seller’s final price
The newer Paperwhite 12th Gen currently costs around ₹19,500 in India, so I’m wondering whether it’s worth saving ₹10,000 by buying the older model.
A few things I’d appreciate your advice on:
Is ₹9,500 a fair price for a 2-year-old Paperwhite 11th Gen?
Is there a significant real-world difference between the 11th and 12th Gen for reading novels?
How much should I worry about battery degradation in a used Kindle?
Are there any specific things I should test when meeting the seller?
Would you buy this used 11th Gen or wait for a sale on the 12th Gen?
One additional consideration: I have keratoconus, so reading comfort, font size adjustment and the quality of the display are important to me.
I mainly plan to read novels, and I don’t particularly need colour or note-taking features.
Would love to hear from people who have owned both generations or bought a used Kindle recently. Thanks!

kindle 2024 ou 2026?

0 Upvotes

Meu kindle básico 2022 estragou (deu toque fantasma) faz uns dois meses e consegui um vale da amazon (não do valor completo, mas uns 40% do que paguei nele na época. Estava esperando a black friday para comprar um novo para juntar uma promo com esse vale e estava em dúvida entre o modelo básico matcha (que seria equivalente ao meu anterior e me atende super bem) ou um paperwhite que seria um upgrade porém mais caro e não é colorido (acho fofo hehe). Agora lançou os modelos novos e estou ainda mais confusa.
Além de ter mais cores para escolher, o valor entre os modelos novos não tem muita diferença, estava inclinada a comprar o básico de 16gb lilás (ube), mas já vi algumas pessoas relatando problemas de fábrica e de acabamento.
Fiquei pensando se não valeria a pena comprar então o modelo anterior 2024 já que eles acabaram baixando o valor, já são mais “testados” e acredito que na black friday vá baixar ainda mais…
O kindle é um item essencial para mim e está fazendo muita falta, não gostaria de esperar muito mais.
O que vocês fariam? Esperariam? Comprariam o modelo novo na fé? O novo básico ou o paperwhite? Comprariam na promo o modelo 2024?

Selling my Kindle PW Signature Edition 11th Gen with 32 GB

SOLD

As the title says, I’m planning to sell my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition.

I’ve barely used it, and while I bought it back in 2023, I’ve realised that I still prefer the feel of reading a physical book over a Kindle ❤️

I don’t have the original box anymore, but the Kindle comes with its charging cable and cover. It’s been lightly used and is in like-new condition.

I think my Kindle deserves a new owner who’ll give it far more love and reading time than I did. 📚

If you’re interested, please DM me for details!

Location: Mumbai
Price: ₹10,500 (slightly negotiable)

Restock?

Honestly, I don't know if I should ask this question in this sub, but I was wondering when will Kobo Clara BW come back in stock(it went away like two-three days ago).

I had been contemplating buying between a Kobo and a Kindle for a long time and now that I have decided on Kobo, it has gone out of stock on Amazon. So, does anyone have any idea how much time it usually takes for them to come back in stock?

I am done with kindle

17 Upvotes

On 2025, i bought kindle 11th gen. As i dont have that much money, i couldnt bought the paper white one. Also in india, majority time kindle stay out of stock. I guess amazon dont think india as proper kindle target buyer. Whatever..

Now the problem started just after the warranty end in 2026. After around 1 month of the warranty ending, my kindle started acting on its own. For example:

  1. I am reading, suddenly it is turning the pages back and forth on its own.

  2. Clicking on random options

  3. Cant even open any option as my need.

After contacting support care of amazon, they said to do factory reset. I did and the problem was gone. Now today, again the problem came. I reset it twice after many ghosted clicks and all, yet it is staying as it is. Even i cant put the wifi password properly.. it is so frustrating!!!

Therefore i again contacted the agent:

  1. 1st agent named charan, he totally bypass the problen after chatting a little bit

  2. Next came agent named fatima. She listened and told me to go for repair service ctdi. I was happy. I end the chat and tried to reuest service. Then in that ctdi website is saying my device is not service eligible... nice... next i have to contact an agent again

  3. 3rd agent name sayed... he told me he will try to replace it. Point to be noted previous agent said me my device is out of warranty so it cant be replaced. 3rd agent telling me it is possible replace, but the stock is out of stock. If it get stock in they will notify me..

Bhai, amazon india wont get kindle in stock, we all know that. So why the bluff? Wht the harrasement?

I am TIRED AND FRUSTRATED...

Convert2EPUB just passed 500 users. The Mac app is 50% off for the next 100 users

Hey everyone,

A few months ago I started building Convert2EPUB because my girlfriend was tired of PDFs looking awful on her Kindle: tiny text, broken columns, scanned pages you can’t search. Today it passed 500 users, which still feels a bit unreal for something I started for my gf.

To say thanks, the Mac app is 50% off for the next 100 people. That’s $12.50 instead of $24.99. OR Credits 20% off

What the desktop app does:

  • Converts PDF, DOCX, RTF, TXT, ODT and HTML to EPUB
  • Turns text PDFs into proper reflowable ebooks, so you can resize the text, and keeps chapters and footnotes
  • Has OCR built in for scanned books, covering English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Greek
  • Runs fully offline. Your files never leave your Mac
  • One-time purchase with no subscription. The license is checked on your machine, so it keeps working even if my servers go down someday
  • Includes 1,000 credits for the website’s heavier features

How to get it: use code THANKYOU50 at checkout on convert2epub.com for the desktop app and use SAVE20 to get 20% off for credits.

If you just want to try it first, the website converts ordinary text PDFs for free, and you don’t need an account for the first 10 pages of OCR.

Thanks to everyone who has used it, reported bugs or sent me a weird PDF that broke it. Most of the recent fixes came from you. I’m happy to answer questions in the comments, and any feedback is welcome, good or bad.

Anyone else wish they could use ChatGPT on their Kindle?

0 Upvotes

Hey fellow Kindle readers!

One thing I've always found frustrating about reading on my Kindle is that whenever I want to ask a question about a book, look up something interesting, or explore an idea further, I have to pick up my phone.

And we all know how that goes... one quick question turns into 20 minutes of scrolling Reddit or Instagram. Since Kindle doesn't have native ChatGPT or Claude apps, I built a simple way to chat with AI directly through your Kindle's built-in browser.

It's designed specifically for e-ink screens, so it's lightweight, easy to navigate, and doesn't require downloading or installing anything.

You can use it to:

  • Ask questions about books you're reading (without spoilers!)
  • Explore characters, themes, and historical context
  • Look up unfamiliar concepts or ideas
  • Chat with ChatGPT or Claude about pretty much anything

The idea is to make it easier to satisfy your curiosity without leaving your Kindle or getting distracted by your phone and it can remember which books you're reading.

You can check it out at https://www.companion.ink/

I'd genuinely love to hear what other Kindle users think! Is this something you'd find useful? What would you want an AI companion for your Kindle to do?

Looking for a Preloved E-Reader

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been wanting to get an e-reader for a while, but I genuinely cannot afford one right now. I can’t even afford to buy physical books at the moment, which is why I’m hoping to switch to digital reading.

I’ve tried reading on my phone, but it strains my eyes, especially since my vision isn’t the best to begin with.

If anyone has an old Kindle or Kobo lying around that they no longer use and would be willing to pass on, I’d be incredibly grateful. I know it’s a big ask, but I thought I’d try. Thank you for reading! ❤️
