And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Amazon discontinued new sales for my original Paperwhite, now 14 years old. It still worked fine, although the battery didn't last as long as when it was new. Anyway, I bought the new one shown here, I've had it 2 or 3 weeks now. I'm quite pleased so far, let's see if lasts for 14 years.
They changed the home screen to book cover captures vs text for the older software. BAD DEAL since you can not read any details of what I have to read and it takes lots of screen space to boot. Detailed List text mode is vastly more intuitive & easy. I have been using kindles since ver 1.
On the 5th base kindle reader, they don't have a lot of ruggedness built into them, pretty cheaply manufactured actually, throw away tech. But a great idea, really super convenient, books are much less cost wise, only drawback is the data ain't dead tree book solid.
