r/ereader

Im just too old to be pirating books, Been burned too many times with incomplete messy epub files

how often do people find themselves unable to get a major book release on kobo vs kindle. Are there other legit ways of aquiring ebooks if they aren't on the kobo store?

I'm planning on using it for reading manga. I chose it over the kobo libra coor bc ive seen tons of complaints abt the Kobo freezing a lot. Does the Boox have any issues like that? And what are the best apps to use on the Boox. I plan on just using my drive to read instead of using a specific manga app. Do they go on sale often or have big sales for black friday? When i see kindles on sale it's usually only like 20 dollars off. If any of you have color ereaders id love to hear your pros and cons abt the model you have

Basically i want to buy an e-reader and i’ve decided a kobo is better than a kindle. The problem is i don’t know wich one i should choose. Im in between a kobo clara colour and a kobo clara BW but i really don’t know wich one’s better.
I mostly read novels and dont usually read graphic novels but i love highlighting the whole book and i don’t know if the clara BW could give me that thrill. Please tell me wich you would recommend!!

We already have an jailbroken kindle at home and its a joy to read books an manga on. Its the Paperwhite 12th gen. But i want something smaller for on the go. To read books and maybe a bit of Manga too. What device would suit that best? I thought of the Xteink devices but in Germany i cant find them on Amazon and on Ebay or "Kleinanzeigen" there are not much at sale.

Hi guys,

Im trying to determine the best overall product that i can use for not only reading ebooks but also shonen jump/viz/marvel subscription apps. I know that might land me more into an android device than an e ink device but I'm not sure what would be best. What are your experiences like for those of you who read more than just ebooks?

Hey all!
I am moving away from Kindle ownership (see ya later Amazon!) and I'd like to own 2 e-readers that have reading sync capabilities -- 1 around the size of a Paperwhite + 1 very small one that can potentially attach to my phone.
Ideally, the paperwhite size one would be a color e-reader. I do not care about in-device stores.
Any combo out there that would be a good fit? TIA!

EDIT: I am comfortable with modding devices if needed to achieve this combo.

pretty obvious by the title but i want to buy an ereader and i kinda have no idea where to start. i read a lot of explicit/dark romance if that helps, would love any advice you have!!

edit- thank you!!

Hi everyone! I just want to know if this E-reader is good for my first reader. I planned to get Xteink X4 but it's hard to find now while X3 is just too small for me.

I've been using a jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite 2021 with KOreader and it's 90% of the way towards what I want. There are a couple niggling issues:

• The size is a little too small for some manga pages. Often the panels can stretch fine and be readable, but sometimes it's a pain and I'll need to zoom on each panel.
• Contrast can be hit or miss. I find myself messing with the B/W contrast a lot when reading manga. The way the line art and strokes are, they can easily blend together or feel completely separate.
• CPU - I know you can't do much without affecting battery (and the Paperwhite battery is incredible), but it will often hang on routine functions

Ideally my replacement would have similarly great battery life, with just a slightly bigger screen, maybe slightly better CPU/refresh rate, etc. I do still read normal books too, and I'm not particularly interested in colour or writing functions. I'd also like to stick within the KOreader system if possible

I am so torn between getting the boox palma 2. I wanted something portable, eink no color, where I can use libby, kindle ,audible and kobo books.

This has sold boox palma 2 on me, but now I am just wondering should i still keep my kobo and kindle? Because I don't think I neeed 3 ereaders tbh.

For those who have all 3, what keeps you from selling the two and keeping just the palma?
