EReader Reccomendations

Hi Veeky Forums!
I'm looking to curb the sheer amount of shit in my house by getting a Kindle Paperwhite. I've got a couple of questions for people who've made the investment -
> Can I easily upload the random ebooks I've torrented over the years, or are Kindles locked to the Amazon store?
> How annoying/ obtrusive are the ads?
> Do you actually use it?
> Are there better eReaders at the same price point?

>Can I easily upload the random ebooks I've torrented over the years, or are Kindles locked to the Amazon store?

Kindle has one function for this, and it's emailing the ebook as a document to your kindle.

You can use calibre for this, the send-to-kindle app, bookdrop with dropbox, etc

>> How annoying/ obtrusive are the ads?

There's no ads when you're reading. There's only ads in your home menu when you're browsing the selection. And they're ads in the form of book recommendations

>Do you actually use it?
Yes

Also I'm talking about wireless uploading, obviously you can put them on your kindle easily through usb. I haven't encountered drm issues

Oh ok cool, that's my main issue with it resolved then. How's the interface?

intuitive enough

pinch zoom for font change

swipe up for a bottom horizontal scroll bar

bookmarks

small windowed preview for the page you're about to jump to

search oxford/webster/wikipedia upon highlighting a word

vocabulary browser for all the words you looked up, and their context

Sweet, I'm sold. Cheers user!

Nigga buying a Paperwhite will make your life a thousand times better.

That is if you even read.

Which you should.
