if the kindle wasn't real and was a fictional artifact in the wizarding world (a book that can turn itself into any book) it would be the dream of everyone who "loves books" but it does exist (yay) but also it's made by a tech company (boo) so it's not actually good actually actually
I have owned a series of Kindles n love them for some use cases but not others- they suck for anything highly visual like my architecture books and the sharing model sucks vs lending paper books
also my current one is older n the battery life has gone down, so if I take it on a trip I also take some paper reading material for when the battery dies
