For such scenarios, I rush to a web browser to get a quick overview before I return back to the reading session. It’s fairly commonplace to come across terms you don’t know the meaning of or a fleeting reference to something intriguing while reading a book. But it’s really the X-Ray feature that creates a night and day difference. However, I do know a lot of people that color-code their highlights in digital books as well as physical notes. Now, I am not much into highlighting important lines in a book, but the Kindle can only do black-and-white highlighting, while the Kindle app for mobiles lets you pick from different shades. Functional superiority makes or breaks it Nadeem Sarwar / Digital Trends The slow screen refresh is another issue, as ghosting is still very much a problem that plagues multimedia content viewing on Kindles and other slates with an e-ink display. I’ve tried reading a few DC comic books on the Kindle and the much larger Onyx Boox Tab Ultra, but the monochrome color profile just sucks the life and all the joy out of reading these comics. Reading comics, a photo book, a recipe collection, or an artistic journal documenting archaeology and history - it all comes to life on a color OLED panel. In fact, each of the benefits mentioned above flesh out in a more immersive and visually rewarding fashion on the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s 120Hz OLED screen than the Kindle e-readers. That means I can enjoy features and services such as Kindle Unlimited, Amazon First Reads, Amazon Prime Reading, and reading a book sample before purchasing (among others). But more importantly, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 got me back into the groove for reading.Īnother reason I was able to leave behind my Kindle is the fact that Amazon is not keeping any Kindle platform benefits exclusive to the namesake e-reader itself. To me, the Samsung foldable was just better at being a Kindle than the real Kindle itself. Now, it sounds unreasonably absurd to compare a $1,800 phone with a $100 Kindle. It’s an appealing premise, especially when it costs as little as $99 to begin the e-reading journey. But on the flip side, it’s also an unabashed trick to mask the fact that the Kindle is a functionally barebones digital slate that only offers a rudimentary path to access the world wide web. With the Kindle, Amazon sells the idea of an e-book reader that is almost as distraction-free as a physical book.
