Kobos are¹ good. You can load them with your own files and they support a nice range of formats. Before loading EPUBs, convert them² for better performance³. Old models keep getting software updates for years, and those can improve performance.<p>PocketBooks⁴ look interesting, especially in the colour e-ink offers⁵ but I can’t personally attest to that.<p>Take a look at the Good e-Reader website⁶ for reviews of several brands and models.<p>¹ <a href="https://www.kobo.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.kobo.com/</a><p>² <a href="https://pgaskin.net/kepubify/" rel="nofollow">https://pgaskin.net/kepubify/</a><p>³ Though you don’t <i>have to</i>; unconverted EPUBs load fine.<p>⁴ <a href="https://pocketbook.ch/" rel="nofollow">https://pocketbook.ch/</a><p>⁵ <a href="https://www.theverge.com/21507390/pocketbook-color-review-e-ink-kaleido-e-reader" rel="nofollow">https://www.theverge.com/21507390/pocketbook-color-review-e-...</a><p>⁶ <a href="https://goodereader.com/" rel="nofollow">https://goodereader.com/</a>
In the past I'd only ever used an iInk reader at the beach. I just didn't care for their small screens, but lightness and water and sand resistance made sense in that environment.<p>Recently I decided to try a Kindle Scribe and I'm now completely taken by it. There's something so much nicer about reading on an eInk screen that's approximately the size of a real printed page.<p>I only use the scribe for reading, though I may try using it for notes when the software improves. I don't really care about that through. In any case, I find myself reading much more than I used to. It's not water proof though, so I probably won't take it to the beach.
I want to like e-readers but they all are lacking for me, at least on my last look. Is there one that will allow me to double space a book and annotate it between the lines and switch the double spacing/annotations on/off? From what I have seen the ones that allow annotations do it in a hyperlink style, I just want to be able to mark it up with a red pen like I can a normal book but get double spacing thrown in for free so I am not restricted to writing in the margins.
I have a lovely old Kindle DX -- it's at least 10 years old. What I love is it's got a larger screen -- I think it's the largest one I've ever seen. The only thing better than an e-ink screen is more of it...
kindle scribe. I'd buy an onyx for the full android experience, but I don't trust the shady chinese servers / software you would need to use with one of those.
