And kinda cheap, I think I got mine around 80 euromarks
the fact that i can't read epub is annoying but i just convert to epub or azw or whatever the new format is
i got mine for like £20 or something
The main problem is... well it's a hassle to read manga and such
yeah, i read oyasumi punpun on my k4 for some reason
I mainly read manga because I'm a *weeb*
also read junji ito's uzumaki
Sure, whenever I read a *real book*, I like to read it on it
it was eh
But for everything else, it's "meh" at best
Controls are unresponsive, zooming in is a royal PITA, and the DPI is not enough to be comfortable for reading small characters (and that happens a lot)
In the end I bought a Fire 8" HD (replaced my Fire 7 that I bought for 30 euromarks)
I only use this one
I use comicrack, synchronize what I read with my PC
And it just works™
And as much as I'd like to go full e-ink reading for my mangos, I just can't see it happening anytime soon
Those things run on potato CPU so any kind of image transformation is gonna be sluggish
And high DPI / big screen are way too expensive for that
I can do without color, though it would be a plus
But all those problems have been there since... well the first kindle
And I don't see those being fixed anytime soon
i think its doable imo
wouldnt mind too much
anyway i dont like LCD much because eye fatigue, sure we have blue light filters but i always prefer e-ink
also battery life is a big deal
It's doable but it's not done, it's been technically feasible for years but nobody do that
And idk why
There's a market for that
Not a big one, yeah, but there's one
And battery life isn't that much of a big deal honestly
redpill me on e-reader autism
Sure, current e ink device can boast a week long autonomy
I want to read books but LCDs are too fatiguing
But if they slashed it to like even a few days, I'd be fine with that
If they put an actual decent CPU
Do you read books?
Not autistic stuff like mangas/manwha/comics
Like actual books
Yeah
In that case, buy an e-ink device
Don't waste 100+ whatever your currency is on it
Entry level kindle is usually fine if you can handle being part of Jeff's botnet
Some of them are hackable but iirc not all of them
idk what's the state of the kobo's market so I won't dwelve too much into it
I ideally want a Kindle as I have Amazon Prime
