gollark: Actually, like I said, most of the stuff it displays runs in some weird embedded browser.
gollark: I remember some people had made other browsers run on some Kindle versions, but they weren't much better.
gollark: It's *still* experimental? It's been at least four years and most of the UI is just a fancy browser anyway.
gollark: I find Kindle Unlimited really great because it means I can decide if I like a book without actually paying to.
gollark: They moved most of my unnecessary stuff into a pile right outside my door, so I now have to go to slightly more effort to walk outside.
