I have no idea how, but maybe someone might help me. I wish I could mix the best aspects if the two and get my dream ereader. But most importantly: with a Kindle I‘m giving my money to amazon, which kinda sucks. But it’s too small to read pdfs (and strangely slow while doing so) and sideloaded books do not sync to the cloud, though I don’t need that feature much. There is zero ghostin, everything looks nice and crisp. It’s easier to hold in one hand while lying down and I love that the buttons are on the side as opposed to on the bottom like on temhe Inkpad 3. Looking words up or marking sentences is fast and easy as can be. Water resistance is a „nice to have“, though not necessary for me. Battery seems to be okay, if not as good as the Inkpad 3s. Buying books is much less involved and really easy and fast. And honestly it makes a world of difference and is just so much nicer to use. The Kindle Oasis on the other hand is lightnig fast in comparison. There is also a lot of ghosting, which makes the screen look less crisp than it is and the light isn‘t as evenly spaced(?). It’s big enough that I can read my DnD Sourcebook pdfs on it (and it’s surprisingly fast while reading pdfs.) The battery is good and I love that it isn’t owned by a big corporation… But I find it a bit akward to hold in bed, it‘s incredibly slow and marking a sentence or looking up a word - english isn’t my main language - takes forever because it’s so slow and involves a lot of steps. Also I can sideload books and still save them in the cloud and continue reading on my phone - though this does not always work. I like it‘s size and especially that I can buy books from my local bookshop and have them on their cloud immediately (they are a Pocketbook partner store).

There’s a lot to like about the Inkpad 3. I read a lot, mostly in bed or on the train to work. So I thought, maybe some lovely strangers on reddit might be able to help… I know, silly - but still, might be worth a try. I don’t want to keep them both and have been trying to decide which to return for days.

Through some stupid coincidences I got my hands on an Inkpad 3 and a Kindle Oasis (2019). I know this might be a stupid question but for the life of me I can’t seem to decide.
