Krono

Define “dodgy”. I think pretty much all the small (phone form factor or smaller) eInk devices are by some Chinese brand or another, since no one else currently seems to be making anything below 6’’ in the “wider than phone” form factor (like Kindle Basic or Kobo Clara). Boox, BigMe and Viwoods all s

I bought the xteink x4 and sold it 2 weeks later. The screen was fine, but I prefer using reading apps like Kindle or Kobo without having to strip the DRM from the files or pirate books. I bought a Durobo Krono (I considered a Palma 2 and the Viwoods) and I'm thrilled with it. The battery lasts 2 we

For context, I'm a tech freak an compulsive buyer, so I'm not a good exemple.
