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

Yeah I have already had to convert a Google eBook that I transferred to it.

    • AMD 9070XT

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
