Managed to find a Kindle Oasis that was posted just yesterday to a local secondhand site here in The Netherlands, it already had a few bids on it but mine won at €130, considering it costs €319 new, that's a really good deal. Of course I will have to update this post once I receive it to update if it was all good.

 

I already have a couple of eBooks, including the "I'm Glad My Mum Died" by Jennette McCurdy (via Google Books) but no dedicated device.

 

I am planning to purchase some Spike Milligan books too because I have heard the ones about his time during the war are really good.

 

Does anyone know if the free 4G is transferable between Amazon accounts?

 

Couple of pics:

They didn't send the charge cable or box it came in, but I have a couple of charging cables that fit.

 

Immediately logged into and registered it with Amazon, and everything is working :)

How different is it to the Paperwhite?
It's like double the price, which I believe the only reason to upgrade would be a more comfortable hand grip and 2 browse buttons.

Has more LEDs for a more even lighting, according to reviews it matters.

I particularly like how it weighs next to nothing compared to a 7" Android tablet.

as far as i'm aware the sim is tied to the device, not the account, the device is then tied to an account.

 

I still use my Kindle Keyboard 3G, still works a charm, just replaced the battery in it two years ago.  Can't browse the web with it anymore since software updates have been discontinued though, the only other thing I don't like about Kindles in general is it doesn't support epub's so you have to use something like calibre to convert to either mobi or awz

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts.

      You missed out, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were beautiful epic masterpieces, I never got to play The Last Guardian sadly so can't really comment on that one.
