I’ve never used one but it struck me as odd that people would use a seperate device for smth so easily done on your phone.

Is there smth special about the hardware? Is it better somehow?

    1- Kindle generally has a smaller attack surface for reading books compared to an Android tablet. The Kindle’s operating system is more specialized and focused on reading, reducing potential vulnerabilities compared to the more multifunctional and complex Android operating system.

    2- If you have dealt with representational trauma in cyber warfare, the Kindle would be a refuge psychologically speaking as you wouldn’t have much disorientation, of course, there are valid reasons that you would be victim of consumerism here, so learn to secure all your devices rather than scapegoating!

      If you have dealt with representational trauma in cyber warfare, the Kindle would be a refuge psychologically speaking as it wouldn’t cause much disorientation and have a lesser impact on your brain chemistry, of course, there are valid reasons you have fallen victim to consumerism here too, so learn to secure all your devices rather than scapegoating!

      What is representational trauma? I have trouble finding anything on the web about it.
