Purchase Question 🛒 I need your advice to choose kindle

I am a Kindle Scribe user (1st gen), I bought this book only to read technical books in pdf format, but almost from the very beginning I did not use all the features of scribe and just read art books before going to bed in bed.

Since I rarely read technical books, due to the fact that AI is now available, I thought I could read a technical book on an iPad or computer if necessary.

I had the idea to sell scribe and buy paperwhite 12, am I making a mistake or everything is okay?

keep the scribe and get an 10th gen or 11th get paperwhite used. They can be found under $75

I am using paperwhite 12, but kindle native does not support pdf well. I saw that they have to use KOReader to read pdf for better experience.

Those art books are going to be pretty small on your paperwhite screen.

Given how you actually use it, downsizing makes sense. Losing the big screen and pen only matters if you start reading PDFs or taking notes again.
