Does anyone use a Kindle anymore? I feel like the writing was on the wall ten years ago. It’s a dead end product that no one cares about. And all the shady stuff like forced deletion of books was a sign. But also, I think people have really become tired of sitting in front of screens. Physical books are more popular among friends than Kindles or other digital books are, and that wasn’t the case ten years ago.
I bought and use a Kindle specifically because it has zero distractions. All you can do is read. You're not interrupted with a text, or another app's notification, or anything like that. There's no temptation to use another app, because there are no other apps. It's just you, and your book.

I think you are very much out of touch with the average book/e-book consumer.

People literally own MULTIPLE kindles with different covers on them for different situations.
We have 4 in our house, plus the kindle software on phones and iPads. I routinely email epub docs to my kindles.
