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
Looks cool, how do you get books onto it? Other documents? I don’t want to mess with having to plug stuff into a computer or something if I want to read a pdf
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
These seem like the way to go but they are crazy expensive. I might have to wait for a sale. Thanks for the input!
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.
