Any recommendations for a non kindle e-ink ebook/epub reader? I lost my kindle in an airport a few years ago, but still have a large library of ebooks. Reading on a laptop or phone just doesn’t do it for me. I liked the e-ink screen since I could read in bed and the battery life was better. I thought read new Kindles now support epub now? I’d like to stay away from Amazon ideally, but if the new ones are good I wouldn’t be opposed. #asknostr

I'd love one with better annotations and PDF reader as well

Your profile picture is awesome! Did you make it with AI?

I definitely would. What would I need to do?
I just use a normal, all-purpose tablet with the open source ReadEra app. For me, the blue light filter was sufficient and battery length is still quite good. I also use Calibre on my laptop to manage my ebooks.

I think with Bing chat you can generate images, but you can't iterate on them. I have ChatGPTs paid version, just ask and I'll try to generate something for you.

I have an old iPad might fit the bill for this. I’ll give it a try, thanks!

I found this @TaskTiger, which for 110 sats I could do a DALLE 3 prompt without signing up for anything. Pretty cool! I made a new profile banner with it.
I use the eReader Prestigio app on Android and the Google Play Books app to read epubs and PDFs. (I'm not familiar with e-ink, though; that's a Kindle thing, right?)

Good to know! E-Ink is the display type of the device.

So true, after looking the kindle might be the way to go cost wise.
