Look for Boox products, it's android on It. You can instal e-ink Bro to have a browser mad for e-ink. I have an air 4C and it is fine for online article reading

You could look into the Boox Air 4C and 5C. Make sure to look up reviews because Boox devices can have quirks and you cannot expect updates. In general I would recommend going with a 10 inch screen or larger for those types of books.

Bah clairement ça fait chier. C'est vraiment des gueguerres d'égo, rien de plus. Non seulement on ne retrouvera plus un catalogue comme ça avant quelques années, mais en plus leur site était clair, bien fait. Honnêtemment la limitation à 5 torrents par jour, je m'en fichais. Qui télécharge plus de 5

Boox hardware is being seriously let down by the software. I have 3 premium Boox devices and can no longer give them the benefit of the doubt anymore (Tab X, Note Max, Air 4C). My Note Max felt abadoned within 4 months of release. Software is also non-inutitive and really not enjoyable to use.

Nope. I don't think any of the newer large BW boox e-readers have a front light. I decided I would just give in and get a color ereader (note air 4c) but it's just not as good for manga and I returned it. I was pretty happy with the software though, and I would happily get something like the one OP

I have a Note Air 4c. I work in a tech retail store and we have the Remarkables on display - having tested both I can't say I felt that the texture of the screen on the Remarkable was any better than on the Boox which has a pre-applied matte screen layer (which I believe is true for the 5c as well).

Bigme devices have got quite a bit better in recent years but there's still software issues and they've got a slightly shady reputation as a company. One of the reasons you won't find many reviews is that they've asked for zero-criticism reviews in exchange for payment or free devices (at least acco

I picked up a Boox Note Air 4c since i mostly read comics/manga. I honestly don't see a need for anything else unless I pick up regular text.

Iİ own an onyx boox note air4c. I carry it with a cover put in a protective zipped case. Double protection. Seems bulky but the best way to save them. These are expensive and fragile devices.

More info direct from Amazon: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/new-amazon-kindle-scribe-color Nearly $100 more expensive than the Boox Note Air 4C, which is arguably more capable. I don’t understand their pricing strategy. I suppose it’s for people deep in the Amazon ecosystem.
