I’ve got a kindle keyboard 3 and want to know if there’s anything better out now. My main requirement is being able to load in my own content and have a nice cover/case

I don’t care about apps or web browsers, but it would be nice to have something that is easy to sync or upload data to.

    With eReaders I’d not upgrade before either:

    1. They genuinely break.
    2. You need a function your current one does not have.

    I’m rocking a Kindle Paperwhite 11 now, but only because my previous Voyage broke sadly. :( Loved that thing with the pressure-sensitive rim.

      +1 for “use it until it breaks”

      Though I don’t use it as much nowadays now that I work from home most of the time, I’ve had one kindle model or another for about a decade at this point, and I used them constantly when commuting. I prefer to keep that particular device sleek and minimal, so I don’t use a case. This tends to result in it eventually getting banged up a bit after a while, but the things are generally quite robust and I tend to just ignore any purely cosmetic damage unless it’s a screen issue. I’ve gone through 2 kindles in that fashion, and I’m on my 3rd. Also, I generally only buy them when they’re on sale, and always go for the lowest memory paperwhite model (I use it for books exclusively, since I have a phone, and I will listen to audiobooks on that if I want to).
