on E-readers: Kobo vs Boox? · c/books · 2 pts · 263d

Man I read a lot about the open book and I think it's such a cool project and this is exactly what I've dreamt about for a long time to replace my kindle (the pinenote's screen is just too big for me) but the screen on the open book touch is too small but everything else about it seems perfect for me. If they ever make this with a bigger screen I will buy it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for sharing the link.

on Ebooks: Ereader or phone? · c/books · 3 pts · 1y

I only read ebooks on an e-ink device, in my case it's an Amazon Kindle. I would love to have a more open device but from what I've seen the only really open e-ink device is the Pinenote which I think is just to big for me to use as an e-reader. Also, while the Kindle works I will keep using it, since I was able to install Koreader on it and just keep it offline(I really hope that we will be able to transfer books from our pc to the Kindle without wifi with Koreader in the future).

I think it would be a waste to get a new device just because I dislike Amazon and would like a more open device. If I stumble upon the "perfect" e-reader for me I will probable give this one away and buy a new one.

I've never read books on a phone or a tablet.

I think they're talking about the Guten Tag quote. If I remember correctly that is what you hear when your spy is in disguise and starts talking with an enemy soldier (I don't remember the chain guns so I'm guessing this is from a different game).

Yeah I did that and found plenty of Fossify apps but not the launcher. I also tried to update the repositories and search again but to no avail.

I also searched Duckduckgo and the F-Droid website but did not find it like that either.

I've used Redreader for I don't know how many years. Best for me of all the ones I tried. That's what so good about all the third party apps, more choices mean it's more likely everyone finds something they enjoy using :-)
