QUOTE(abu.shofwan @ May 2 2019, 04:35 PM) Kindle is good on the eyes, compared with traditional tablets or laptop. Lighter, too, though a bit small. I think Amazon can deliver it to Malaysia, so you can check online for the pricing (they would include approximate tax/customs fee, too). I haven't bought the kindle, but I've done some Amazon shopping before, ranging from books (physical books, not ebook), it stuff, and what not. Didn't encounter any issue. thanks any model is reasonable ? cause i have close to zero knowledge abt kindle or any e-ink display device. i saw shopee selling at rm 600 for paperweight 4, is that good and reasonable ?

QUOTE(miyakochan89 @ Jun 20 2019, 09:12 AM) No matter how you look at it, kindle is the best. And they last very long so it's worth the investment.  My previous Kobo Mini lasts 2 years until I sold it off, i bet it could have lasted me forever if i didn't get greedy and upgraded to Kindle paperwhite. Currently the device is at 3 years of age.  Still working like new. After all it's just reading. question abt library and ebook format ? good? reasonable prices or ?

QUOTE(miyakochan89 @ Jun 20 2019, 09:56 AM) Ebook format is .mobi or .azws which you can easily convert from any epub. If you buy directly from Amazon books of course the library is amazing. no issue for kids to do conversations right ? she love reading, so plan to save her eyes from ipad or iphone.

QUOTE(miyakochan89 @ Jun 20 2019, 10:40 AM) Just use Calibre software to convert on PC. Simple Google will do the trick. If you buy books from Amazon then don't need to convert of course, it's stored in your Amazon account and will sync to whichever Kindle you sync to. I myself download books so I will convert them before transferring to my Kindle via USB or etc. And it's definitely better than reading on iPad. Your eyes will appreciate it. thanks, i bought that latest paperwhite for my niece and she love it (thanks god) ......
