Adobe? Kobo? I just drop epubs on Books.app and they show up on my iPhone. Never had an issue. /shrug
Very different reading experience with e-ink devices vs tablets/smartphones.
I know. It's like how my 3DS has buttons where playing on my MacBook means I gotta use the keyboard and trackpad, or connect an external controller. So the actual 3DS has advantages of its own.
I'd rather have fewer devices that do more than multiple devices that each do less. While I realise the multiple devices might have specialisations that make them better at specific tasks, the way I read is while listening to the audiobook. I don't just sit around and read.
Didn't mean to imply there was no benefit to using a dedicated e-reader. I'd just rather use what I have.
