1000 page pdfs (usualy jsut high-dpi scanned images) make avg computers slow as fuck

Would it be better to get a tablet

(depends on reader too probly

@Archy you won't beat kindles on the screens for reading in public

you could diykindle with raspbi and kindle screen ":D"

Let me go google

but that would require effort

If your reading on it, Kindles are the way to go. Looks like paper, and has a hella great batterylife.

@Austin how is glare on the paperwhite?

Are we talking in sunlight or?

how are the best kindles in sunlight?

^onyx

not kindle but best thing for sunlight

expensive as fuck tho

It's unnoticeable. Don't glare back, it's matte screens.

oh fuck

ima buy a kindle

generaly all E-inki screens are damn good to read on sunlight

Exactly.

Pick the Kindle Paperwhite.

It's great.

I got the impression the backlighting would screw with the e-ink. Don't really understand how it works.

Runs on E-Ink, so doesn't use battery unless you load a new page.

It doesn't.

@Archy the onyx thing Tervy mentioned is bigger than kindles

Chinks deliver

well that ones much cheaper

rip aus

I can't talk about the DX model, I'd recommend the Paperwhite.

Just my 2 cents.

Do I buy one of the cheap kindles

Haven't used the paperwhite but I've used the DX. Only complaint is the same as I had with the original kindle: shit for backlighting.

and hack it to remove ads?

hack it to run rockbox :^)

"buy malware broken shit and hack it" .. based china
