Why do you hate Kindle /lit/? I just started university and have

E-readers in general are not very good for PDFs, though the Kindle is probably the best of the bunch for them.

Just get a cheap tablet or laptop if you need something to look at textbooks on.

I don't.
It's great.

I use a tablet to read some books. I can't get them where I live, and shipping overseas is crazy expensive.

Because if you get one then Amazon knows what you read, and that's none of their fucking business. Also muh DRM, forced updates and sometimes they remotely delete your books (google Kindle and 1984) You should be able to get a quality product without sacrificing your freedom.

A Kindle is ideal for you in this case, yes.

Have you tried the university library?

If you're gonna be using it for school books, then you'll want to get a tablet.

All current e-readers suck when you get outside of .mobi and .epub formats.

You can get a much better, spec wise, for much less than e-readers

They are comfy but I kind of hated mine until I jailbroke it. Can't believe kindle doesn't natively have a dark mode. They're shit for anything but epubs and the like, though.

I just keep my Kindle permanently in aeroplane mode. No issues.

Also the other readers policies are worse, Google EFF ebook privacy.
