How much does it cost?

Absolutely nothing, which does give it an advantage compared to Kindle devices.

The Kindle app works by simply displaying the text right on your screen.

It is a comparable experience to reading any other articles or posts on the associated gear.

It has different color schemes (day, night, and sepia) and easy brightness adjustment.

Because the app is in full color on other devices, you could highlight in multiple colors.

It’s also going to be extremely difficult to use in direct sunlight.

Another gadget-dependent disadvantage is that your specs limit your experience.

Reading from a giant laptop screen or a tiny smartphone is annoying.

Additionally, you may face other distractions using other devices that you don’t get from the Kindle.
