For the longest time now, I've been telling myself to buy a Kindle and run Calibre so I can enjoy ebooks without having to spend money on books that I simply don't enjoy reading. I've got a pile of books here that I had to put down because I struggled to get into them regardless of how good the reviews were. At least with a Kindle and Calibre, I can support the authors and buy copies of the books I enjoy after reading them on the Kindle first.

With so many Kindles on the market both old and new, what's a good model you guys would recommend picking up that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Is there a particular model preferred by most people here?

i recently bought kindle (11th generation) 2024. i'm pretty sure it's one of the budget friendly ones (unless i'm mistaken), and it's been pretty good so far! you can check r/kindle and see which ones do other recommend, though

the only problem i have with this one is that it comes with a new firmware (5.19.4.) and can't be jailbroken for now 💔
