Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don’t last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I’m interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.
recommendations?
Is there a reason you are so against Kindles?
You can mod them for KOReader and you can always drag and drop your own files bypassing Amazon’s echo system.
Also what’s causing the Boox to fail? Seems strange for an ereader
I would assume because they are not fans of Amazon.
Fair enough if that’s the case. They could always buy used. They typically don’t receive a ton of ware
I just have a kindle that’s never been connected to Amazon. Calibre + USB to add and remove books. I get not wanting to use Amazon, but the hardware is cheap and solid.
Yeah I’ve seen many 10 year old devices still working
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space AFAIK you can’t do it with newer kindles.
What? Jailbreaking or drag and drop file management?
If you mean the former I think you are correct but slightly older supported models still work just fine in my opinion.
