The kindle eink reader is amazing and absolutely great. However I don’t use KU and rarely buy books on it. I mainly use my library and read the borrowed books on it. As a piece of hardware it’s one of the few Amazon builds well. I’m surprised too.
This. I own a basic Kindle because it only cost me $60, and while I could upgrade to a better e-reader from a less monopolistic company, it'd just be a bit of e-waste I don't need to produce, and in the meantime Calibre + NoDRM / DeDRM means I can read books from anywhere on it.
