Hello, fellow readers! I'd like to ping the hivemind about e-ink screened e-readers. I'm looking to get an e-reader. A few requirements I've narrowed down: -not android (I don't need another chinesium android powerhog) -can easily sideload epubs and comic files - decent PDF performance - 2+ week. Battery life (bare minimum 1 week) -7+ inch screen (but 10" is probably too big) since this WILL be used to read a lot of manga and 6" and smaller screens are just not so good for that (but if someone makes a case for a 6" reader with compelling cost/features, I'd consider it) -preferably under $300usd -preferably physical page turn buttons Some contenders: PocketBook InkPad 3 Color (more than allocated budget) PocketBook Era (b&w or color) Kobo Libra color (seems to be repairable!) A jailbroken Kindle ColorSoft (this is a bit tricky, as the colorsoft model may not be able to stay jailbroken yet, and I'm not going to bother with a regular kindle since the other options are much less appealing) The xteink x4 (much smaller than target size but cheap, interesting, and has a community firmware already) Anyone have any other thoughts? I'm not sold on the current crop of color displays, though it gives a rally really retro newsprint comic feel that I like (from reviews). I think I want to be able to install koreader on the device (again, recommended from reviews) #asknostr #ereader #eink #reading #readers #books #epub #PDF #gadgets #Edc #worththesats
