Well, I wouldn't recommend it if you plan on using it for reference books (unless, again, you move a lot), because like I mentioned before, it's difficult to go back and look things up and there can be some formatting issues with code blocks, etc (not so much with newer books). But for everything else, it's great!
If you do buy a reference book (or any book, for that matter) and you experience issues with the formatting, there is an option to return the book for a full refund if you return it within 1 week.
So would you recommend it 10/10 ? or less?

Thanks! I don't plan to read technical books on the kindle anyway.
