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

I bought a Lux because I'm a hipster, it's great because it supports a wide range of file formats and can be customized with non-existent apps because nobody cares about it

Yeah well go for it then

It's good shit

You can usually find good deals on second hand ones

Just bear in mind that e-ink means no compulsory backlighting

Some entry level got no backlighting, meaning it's just like a book, you can't read it in the dark

(without external LÄMP)

Though some of them can be fitted with led lighting

(in cases)

Kindle being one of the most popular e-ink devices you can pretty much find anything to customize it

Sticker ~~for added faggotery~~, cases, protections and such

And the older ones at least (dunno about the last gens) are very easy to service in case you're very clumsy
