I have a Kindle, but it doesn’t scroll and I’m a scroller. Anybody got an Android app that scrolls ebooks really well? Preferably open source and able to access the web (where my library resides)?

The Kindle app for Android has an option for continuous scroll instead of page turn.

I don’t want Amazon tracking all my books. My Kindle is on airplane mode always and updates are done manually.

I don’t want Amazon tracking all my books.

Then why did you buy/acquire a kindle knowing that they do this?

Kindles are great devices and they’re subsidised, so they’re cheap. It’s perfectly possible to use them on e.g. permanent airplane mode. You don’t even have to buy books from Amazon, if you use Calibre.

That said I’ll be going Kobo next time because I love buttons.

But what’s the point? You would want me to feel shame, embarrass me, because I made a mistake?

No; trying to understand the logic.

Sell it and buy what you want that does what you want.

It could definitely have been acquired before they understood/cared about that.
