not cheap ones
yeah they're not cheap
onyx being main contender there ?
How not cheap?
"get used kindle" not cheap
Amazon subsidizes the cost.
Even a new kindle is super to Chinese eink
Amazon subsidizes becusee for every me who pirates everything. There's three people buying books
previously linked 300us Boox Nova Pro cheap
non-pro nova being 250 or so in aliex
and poke pro 200
all from boox
Thefuck do they do that justify an ebook readers being that much?
e-ink panels are patented to e-ink bullshit corporation
We had amazing ones for $200 a couple years back
whats main reason why there is no cheap panels
cause they literaly jew it out
Blame the eink company
^
What the fuck.
There's also not much demand for innovation or change in the commerical space.
In the pro space sure. Eink signs would be fucking sick.

Had a Kobo WiFi years ago, was nice.
Glorious Kobo. Releasing a waterproof kindle so Amazon has to as well
their aura model is around 70 iirc (year ago last time i checked
What are the best couple of ebook readers around now?
Kindle Paperwhite on sale is 100$ with waterproof and backlight
There was a recently made 10 inch eink with no backlight. Got highly reviewed but was expensive
If it gets me reading again it'll be worth whatever, I used to love reading all the time, now I only read online.
Last gen Paperwhite can be had for cheap used.
Any bullshit with Kindle like requiring an account or ads or anything?
kindle whatever, kobo aura and said Boox Nova
No. Use Calibre. Load eberybook
Bought chink shit mousepad
It is probably shit but never know
I haven't setup a new kindle in ages.
But once started just turn on airplane mode. And you won't ever see ads again after a month.
