Some webpage deserve to be lasting kept in eBook format

This is not a valid English sentence. Perhaps you meant “Some webpages deserve to be permanantly kept in eBook format”?

There’s lots of other errors throughout the site that make me suspect English is not your first language; I would suggest finding a native speaker to do an editing pass.

I don’t own a Kindle, I just use the app on my phones and tablets, so I am assuming I can’t use this since it repeatedly refers to “your e-ink Kindle”.

“Permanantly”...

What is the name of that law which says people correcting misspellings on the internet are doomed to make typos in their own comments...?

(But I concur that the copy needs reviewing.)

@egypturnash Yes, the better sentence should be “Some webpages deserve to be permanently kept in eBook format”. I chose the word "lasting" just for responding to the App's name.

I'm not a native English speaker. I'm learning English by reading books and webpages. Learning English is one of my motivations for developing LastingPaper.

Yes, It only works with E-Ink Kindle, I recommend you to try an E-Ink device, it will give you more immersive reading experience.

Thanks for your reply~
