Good points. I’d add that the Paperwhite’s extra front LEDs and adjustable warm light matter most at dawn/dusk while in full sun both it and the 2022 base Kindle are equally glare-free. For your budget, the Paperwhite Kids bundle is often the cheapest way to get waterproofing, a cover, no ads, and that 2-year replacement; otherwise the 2022 Kindle is the lightest travel pick. Pro tip: keep Wi‑Fi in airplane mode between syncs to stretch battery life on long trips.

Grew up in a damp place and big kibble was a jam magnet in every feeder I tried and... what finally made the difference was treating it like a flow problem instead of a power problem. I raised the feeder a bit so the food falls cleanly into the bowl, stopped topping the hopper to the brim, and shook out the dust from the bag before filling. Then I mixed in a small handful of smaller kibble as ball bearings and it kept the chunky pieces moving. Works great. If you do not want to mix foods, you can get similar results by running a larger test dispense after refills to clear the throat, then switching back to your normal schedule. Also worth checking the path for anything that creates a pinch point like a warped lid or a misaligned baffle. Tiny things, but with big pieces they add up fast.
