Anyone has a non-Kindle e-reader? Which one do you recommend?

The 2 big non-Kindle brands are Kobo and Onyx Boox. the difference being that Boox is Android-based so you can download different apps while Kobo is a closed system like Kindle. It depends on what you want out of your e-reader. I personally have a Boox Go 7" (in black/white) and I'm a big fan of it

Curious just curious

I don't know how to explain it other than it feels like reading a real book. There is something about the screen not emitting light. It just feels natural to me and I will always prefer to read books on e-ink screens. The quality of e-ink and specifically on monochrome screens went so much better in

Is there an E-Reader that...?

You'll want an Android ereader, eg the Boox or Meebook brands. I think they all have frontlights but you can just not turn it on. For budget friendly, maybe the Boox Go 6?

E-ink screen

The thing about eInk screens is that the limitations of the technology really requires that you use software with UX that is built around those limitations. While ePaper displays with color do exist, the ones that can realistically be used on a tablet or laptop just have an LCD color filter layer. t

White or Black E-readers?

That makes sense! The boox go 6 in black is significantly more neutral when I hold it and the warmth/cool tones are so different. Not sure if it’s just a device thing or a color thing, but I prefer the screen on the black

Is the Viwoods AIPaper a good fit for me?

I presently own a reMarkable 2, Boox Note2, & an AiPaper. The reMarkable 2 has long been a staple in the E-Ink market, but it is currently hampered by aging hardware and a restrictive subscription model that gates basic cloud syncing features. With only 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, it str

I’m Reluctant to Say this but…

I've tried a few different color e-ink models and imo they're just not there yet. I love my note air no color and Boox Go 6 bw. For me, one of the biggest points of e-ink it not having to use light and still having a great reading experience. With color e-ink, light (often turned up to 75% plus is a

E-Reader Recommendations

Android ereaders don't have as good of battery life as other ereaders. When you say nothing Kindle related does that exclude Kobos and Pocketbooks? If Kobo is an option for you I'd suggest the Kobo Clara BW. It has a matte screen, is not a Kindle (but is not an Android ereader either), has a 6 inch

Size comp: Remarkable Move and XTeink

Yeah, KoReader so you can control everything: margins, line spacing, font weight, fonts, cover and displays on shelf, page display, paragraph spacing, contrast, more levels of lighting. I never really got why KoReader has such a strong following until I ran it on my Boox Go 6 and an Inkpalm. One of
