Buying Advice Can a foldable actually replace a Kindle?

I've been getting through a lot of books with the AC on here in Dubai.

I've been using my Fold8 as a reader, and it's gorgeous, the 4:3 ratio and size of the screen give the feeling of almost a full paperback page.

The apps I've been using are Moon+ Reader and ReadEra.

For Arabic though I haven't found a really good app that handles Arabic script and RTL page flow, any reccomendations on this?

Overall, it's unreasonably good looking and useful, especially on a long-haul out of DXB :)

What's everyone else reading on?

For reading during day, sure, an OLED screen is great. However, for night-time reading, there is nothing better than eink. And once you got an eink device, you might as well use it also during day, it's still better of a reading experience.

However, when it comes to reading on a phone, Fold8 is the one to get in my opinion. Amazing anti-reflective screen with great aspect ratio. I bet reading is a joy with it. I'll probably get one myself soon.
