Turns out I should have bought an OLED even though I already had the first version...
Protip, anything you want, just in general - get it "now". Especially if you're in the US, there will never be a better time. We've not yet begun to feel the supply chain impacts from Iran. Shit's fucked, it's not slowing down, and there's no wand that can wave to fix it.
Yeah I got some storage already. I think I'll get some more if I see a "discount"
Yep, been buying used kindles for cheap and jailbreaking them, set for reading forever, and sd cards and hard drives. Let it ride.
Off topic, but you seem likely to have opinions: If I was looking for a device to read in/before bed (ideally not a backlit screen) that would be used for more than just text (comics, tabletop rpg pdf content that would contain tables and illustrations, etc), are there any obvious choices, or things to look for? I'm comfortable jailbreaking, or even performing minor hard mods, but I haven't really shopped for an ereader before so I frankly have no idea what to look for
The issue lies in power. Lit screen or not, the device needs to be able to call up 500MB or more for a comic series, more, way more for an omnibus or collection. For that, I haven't found an ebook reader barring BOOX products, which are higher-end, luxury Android ereaders with power to match their cost.
A Kindle 4 is a great ereader with a lot of life left - if you like books. Manga snd comics?... stick to a modern ereader or a tablet.
Eh, I didn't go for the OLED upgrade and I'm still stoked about mine.
Neither did I, but lately it's been docked since I bent a CPU pin on my regular PC and have yet to unbend it, so it's been a temporary replacement. OLED wouldn't have made a difference in most of its use time in my case.
Just wake from Bluetooth. Which is honestly crazy they didn't include it to begin with.
I didn't know that wasn't originally possible. I don't use Bluetooth with it at all though. My headset and the controller I was using both has dongles, and now I use the Steam controller with it, so no change.
The mouse and keyboard are just regular corded ones as well.
Wait, are you able to wake it with your Steam Controller? I haven't been able to. I'm not on the beta OS though, I was having too many issues with some games on it.
Haven't ever even tried. I play almost everything with mouse/mb, funny usually turn the controller on till I've already launched the game I wanna use it with.
I hear it's been a pain for people trying to get it to work, so I doubt it. Using it rn but I'll try to edit this after trying it.
Edit- No, didn't work. Also, I can't make mine do the Wilhelm scream thing that's supposed to be an Easter egg. Tossed it on my bed at least 20 different ways, never does it. :(
Was using mine docked as well for a couple weeks while I waited for my RMAs to go through. Went really well.
