For Ao3 reading: Cheaper Kindle vs Smaller Kobo vs Expensive Boox?

Amazon has a bad habit of deleting files off Kindles, yes - but it’s files transferred under specific circumstances. (Specifically, it seems to be “azw3 files transferred via USB, if they have an EBOK flag set instead of PDOC, so the Kindle sees them as “books” instead of “personal documents”, and d

Looking for imaginary note-taking device

If a device is pocketable, then it is too small to read PDFs on it. The closest compromise is an 8" device like the Viwoods Mini or the Supernote Nomad. You can read/annotate PDFs and write on them, and they will fit in a coat pocket. A little cramped, though. The only truly pocketable e-ink devices

Remarkable2 or Scribe for note taking?

Scribe is reading first device. Note taking features are possible and are ok, but are lacking when compared to competition, even remarkable. Idk about kindle ocr but remarkable's ocr is respectably good. It still depends on handwriting style mostly. For example, while supernote ocr is perceived as s

Empfehlung für E-Book-Reader und Seiten zum Downloaden

Farbdisplay ist ein wenig ein Knackpunkt. Ich habe einen kindle colorsoft. Das geht zwar schon, aber es ist halt sehr matt und nicht so viele Farben zur Auswahl. Über Calibre kann man relativ gut Bücher als sideload hochladen. Notizen sind aber nicht ideal. Mich reizt dafür der neue kindle scribe co

Are eink tablets 'there' yet? For textbooks and note-taking

I highly recommend an iPad. A lot of e-ink devices will fool you into thinking they are there but let you down when you need them. Example: kindle scribe is awesome for reading and annotating but a lot of textbooks won’t download to it and kindles don’t render complex math equations correctly. IMO i

Best comic reader; RMPP or Scribe Colorsoft?

If you’re planning to use PDFs, skip the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. I had all my comics and magazines in PDF, tried importing via USB, and lost all the colors. And the “Send to Kindle” option has a 200MB limit which is just annoying. I use the Paper Pro exclusively for comics and magazines since it’s

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

From this article, Amazon is removing the ability to sideload purchased ebooks via USB onto Kindles, but you’ll still be able to sideload non-Amazon ebooks via USB—the ability to sideload isn’t going away. https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2025/02/19/things-to-know-about-amazon-removing-download-and

Ask Me Anything About My E-Ink Tablet Collection

I got the Kindle scribe colorsoft. But for what I do for a living I wish I could load up a large (D size) PDF and zoom in to mark up with color and not have the scale of the pen size be so thick. I'm thinking maybe I should have gone for something else. What e ink would have satisfied this unique ne

Small e-reader device to read academic books in pdf

Sorry, but your response doesn’t make sense. I’ve tried many times to read medical PDFs on different e-readers, including the Kindle Paperwhite and even the Kindle Scribe with its 10.2-inch screen — it’s still very difficult to read PDFs on them. I also own a reMarkable 2, but the lack of a front li
