Hi, I want to buy a used 10th Gen Kindle. Before buying it, I want to know whether I can read EPUB files with it or not. In other words, if I update it to the latest firmware, will I be able to send EPUB files to it? Like the 11 Gen kindle? BTW, I'm pretty new to Kindle and generally ereader stuff, so I want to be sure before investing in one. Thanks in advance.
I just bought a kindle also (the oasis which is double the speed of all others). After watching several review videos I decided to avoid the kobo as that advantage (native opening of EPUB's) is the only one.
The kindle software is much better, the availability of books is also better on kindle (if you, like me, want to read general novels). Also,if you're not a native speaker of the book language you something unique to kindle which is the automatic translation of some difficult terms within the book itself without going to a dictionary.
As for our publications they work great on the kindle after translation (epub, pdf) or directly (pdf). The translation of pdf makes it "flowable", that is, we can zoom and it changes the page format making it fully visible without panning. The links all work in the pdf also, even the bible
Yes, for me the kindle is the best option. I also own several kindle books that I wouldn't be able to read on the kobo. You can also read epubs on the kindle, it's just necessary to convert them to the kindle format which is easy. I also have several epub and pdf books that I read on a kindle without any problem.
I forgot to mention that the pdf reader of the kindle is also much superior to the one on the kobo. You can highlight text, search for it, see a dictionary, etc... on the kobo it just appears as an image
You can compile it using tex4ebook, but htlatex example.tex xhtml has the same result: if you run the epub or .html output through the Kindle Previewer, it displays just fine on "Kindle Paperwhite," but on "Kindle DX" the italicized "very" appears indented on its very own line. "This is" and "strange" are both flushed left.
I don't have access to kindle previewer, so I don't know what is the issue, probably it is a Kindle DX bug. You can try to configure \emph to produce html code more suitable for kindle, something like:
