I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

    Comics and graphic novels mostly. Maybe scientific papers and textbooks.

    Oh you mean the point for Amazon? Extract money

      Ha, good response. Didn’t know people got comic books on Kindle. Thought the point was having/collecting the physical ones.

        Well, once you have a room full of long boxes, you kinda have to either become rich enough to build a new house with dedicated comic storage, or you start looking at digital.

        Half joke aside (because good luck affording a house nowadays), reading comics digitally is actually very nice, but being able to have and store an entire published history of a comic on a single drive instead of taking up multiple boxes is too damn nice to ignore. And that’s assuming you’re paying for the digital version. If you pirate, the money issue is a major decrease in resources needed to enjoy comics. Hard to pirate physical copies of the very old and rare stuff, but easy to find digitally.
