I like reading on e-ink, my kindle just keeled over but want to get out from under the Amazon bs. Anything that won’t have me fucking with a laptop is a bonus.

    I have a Boox ereader and I cannot imagine going back to a kindle. It’s basically an e-ink Android tablet centered around a really good reading app, so you can basically do whatever you want with it.

      I also recently got a Boox and have been greatly enjoying it. It feels like I can do what I want with it. Kindle is also being abandoned by amazon because it’s not profitable enough (lol). I think the android ecosystem is a huge benefit because you can read content outside books as well with relative ease, like fanfic sites or other reader apps

        It has a browser, so you can download files directly

        Edit: It also has wifi and bluetooth so you can send files to it from a phone, for example

        Just to clarify the other reply: you connect both devices to the same network and then visit a specific URL on the sending device. You can then receive the document on the Boox by sending via that localhost site.
