The kindle hardware is excellent, but the kindle software is one of the worst pieces of garbage ever. Just filled from top to bottom with utterly deranged behaviors.

The thing that drives me crazy is that when you select word to translate, it includes commas and points. Then, dictionary can't translate!!! This is such a basic issue and still exists for years. Ppl from Amazon, I pray to you to fix this

I've complained about these issues with the Kindle for years, but the problem is that Amazon has absolutely no incentive to fix any of these issues.

Agreed. But in its defense, the software on my Kindle has remained the same level of bad for the last 8 years. Compared to my Android devices that have slowed down significantly.
