Kindles are awesome e-readers. They can read .mobi files, the battery time is in weeks and the e-ink display is very easy on the eyes.



Yes but they don't support epub, which is frustrating (at least mine doesn't). Easy problem to fix but it seems the majority of ebooks online follow this format.


Installing KOreader after a jailbreak let’s you read whatever you want. (And connect to OPDS servers)


What you described is equally true of Kobo, Nook, and pretty much every e-ink based reader. And they all support more formats than the Kindle does.
