The page-turn animation is both the most unnecessary and also most necessary feature of e-readers

This is rather niche, I know, but you clearly haven’t used the kindle app on a Surface Duo.

It's funny, I hardly ever read books, paper or digital, but a major reason I wanted a Surface Duo was to use the Kindle app on a dual screen/book formfactor.

Then I noticed page turn animation comes from the far left edge instead of the middle and it was almost comically poor implementation

This kind of skeuomorphism should remain forever and never be left behind 🤩

The sound effect is crazy too

I'm still using my 2019 "Kindle Oasis 2" with physical turn buttons (and a light sensor). Haven't found a better e-reader yet! <3

What's your preferred e-reader ?

Dude sometimes i tap the wrong place and my kindle updates so fast i'm not sure what page i'm on and I get so frustrated so I feel this comment deeply!
