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.
welcome to patent bullshit of e-inks
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.

also other manufacturer is Kobo
their now old "Kobo Glow" is around 50-60
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?
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.
@Sad loved both giant mats I've got
The ads also don't fuckin matter unless your autistic and impulse buy books
The giant one still feels small
Based literally off the cover
But I will soon be home and see how it looks on my desk
but yeah boox and kobos are decent as long as you never let them touch internet
(legacy android + internet = bad combo)
IV never seen ads on either of them but Amazon ads are pretty based
When the new kindle came out it kept hounding me to trade mine in for a credit for a new one
Sale+credit would have made it like. $60
