Look, I’m not telling you to ditch your cheap Kindle and buy an uber-expensive Samsung foldable. I’m just saying that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a great Kindle.
Kindles are cheap, long-lasting, and easy on the eyes. Depending on the variant you pick, they can even fit in your jeans pocket, just like a phone. Amazon’s e-reader owns a lion’s share of the market with a diverse hardware choice and a rich portfolio of titles in its digital library. It’s a dream device for bookworms that can carry thousands of books in a package that is just over five ounces.
Now, it sounds unreasonably absurd to compare a $1,800 phone with a $100 Kindle. I am not doing that comparison either. To me, the Samsung foldable was just better at being a Kindle than the real Kindle itself. But more importantly, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 got me back into the groove for reading. Functional superiority makes or breaks it Let’s start small here. 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. However, I do know a lot of people that color-code their highlights in digital books as well as physical notes. But it’s really the X-Ray feature that creates a night and day difference.
On the Kindle, the web browsing experience would remind you of the early days of the internet. It’s extremely slow and stutter-heavy, and if you run into a paywalled source of information that has its login credentials stored on the browser of your choice, then you’re out of luck. Then there is the issue of sourcing books and compatibility. You can’t just visit a free e-book repository, download a few titles, and start reading them on your Kindle. The Amazon slate simply can’t parse all file formats directly. You have to first convert them before transferring them via a USB cable to the Kindle or send the downloaded files from your computer or phone to the unique Kindle email address.
