I have a kobo libra 2, but have had kindle paperwhites in the past. The kobo is the better experience IMO, for 3 big reasons. 1, physical buttons. The buttons on the side also mean there's a good place to hold the device, where on my old paperwhite I would accidentally skip to the next page constantly. Someone with smaller hands probably won't mind as much though. 2, easier to get library books. Overdrive is built in, so I don't have to go find my phone to search for books. 3, more customizable with the fonts and layouts and I can load in custom fonts really easy. That being said, my partner has the newest Kindle, and she adores that thing and hates how big the kobo is.

In a small defense of ME legendary, it is 3 different games in one package. Still Annoying, especially since storage space isn't the only factor. Internet speed can really ruin your gaming plans

I was thinking about an apple TV, but I'm not in the apple ecosystem so I'm not sure how well it would work for me. Shame, it does look like a great device

Good idea. I checked and it's not transcoding, just direct play for audio/video so it's not codecs. I'm still leaning towards bit rate being too high for the fire stick processor for now

No transcoding, it's doing direct play for video and audio. The roku eventually gives up and plex gives a "your network is not good enough" error unfortunately

Good to know! I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get a shield pro then. Thanks!

Basically all tracking is done by Google ads. It checks at start up if you have purchased ad free or not. If purchased, launch app without ad library, else launch with ads. It has to be in the code because (according to the dev) Google is cracking down on similar apps, ie a pro version and a free version. So ad library has to be included, and it just won't use it if you pay for pro

100 bucks is only for the extra features. Just to remove ads is $20, which is admittedly still high
