With my ad-free paper white, there’s a magnet in the case that lines up with a sensor in the kindle.
You open the cover, and it’s right where you left off.
With the ad supported version, you’d open the cover, and have to push the button to dismiss the ad.
IIRC, that behavior still persists even if the ads expire.
If you have the magnetic cover though, you’ll still need to press the button to unlock it.
The product is already tethered to the battery pack, so it’s not that far of a stretch to imagine maybe a $500 version that is dependent on an iPhone or something.

Trying to find a community for a popular topic isn’t the easiest in the world… it’s a bit like the old days where you had to find a good forum for the topic you wanted to chat about.
I think they’ll drop the price considerably to get users and developers onboard.
To really get the average consumer, it’ll need to be around the price of a MacBook. If they can do that, it’ll sell boatloads.

The whole federation thing is confusing though…
Client selection on iOS is quite limited too. I’d love if there was an Apollo-like Lemmy client complete with all the gestures and seamless Imgur upload.
But even then, trying to find a community is challenging because of the decentralized nature of it
There’s potential for sure, but I can’t see it taking off with the general public in the current state
This is how the case works.

Not a huge deal, but it does get a little annoying
It basically prevents you from being able to use the feature of the case
The ads were a lot less noticeable on the older kindles with the keyboard
