Kindle Oasis

I guess eInk devices have to find an area where they are actually better for everyone. Kindles did that. They are better than books in some regard: you can carry around many books and it is light and doesn't need much space you can increase the font size so you can read without glasses if you are a

I have that same one and while I can and do use it (got it last May when it came out so I’ve used it for a year now, albeit not constantly), not a day goes by that I don’t regret not getting the BW, LOL. It’s a lovely device but yes, the Kaleido 3 screen technology is essentially unusable without th

Ohhh this looks nice. I have the same goals as you and recently got a Boox Palma. I really like it and it has def got me off my phone more, but it’s not as pleasant to read on as my old Kindle Oasis. But Oasis has the Amazon lock-in, and also is still microUSB charging. I was thinking of selling bot

PocketBooks for just downloaded epubs. If you want to use the library or a local subscription service or something like Storytel as well (depending on your country and library) which requires an app, then Boox devices or inkBook (Polish) are Android-based and can do apps. Boox Go 7 and inkBooks have

Kindles tend to be the cheapest since unlike other brands, Amazon can afford to sell them for not a lot of profit (expecting most people with Kindles will buy the books from Amazon as well).

I just converted to the Boox Go7 monochrome as my main Ereader. The square format reminds me a lot of my old Kindle Oasis, which was my full time Ereader until the batteries started to go south. The Oasis was replaced by my old Boox Nova Air, which was the perfect format..about the screen size of a

I got a Boox Go 7 (colour) earlier this year because I realised I really do want to also occasionally read books in my own language, and I can’t actually afford to buy those so I have to rely on library and monthly subscription services - and those require using their own apps. Which means Android,

When it comes to sideloading/downloading, I heard it is no longer possible via USB cable, is it true? Sideloading via USB cable (transferring books to the Kindle, provided they’re in the right format, i.e. not epub, although Calibre can also convert epub while transferring) should absolutely still b

Re: Kindles, all of the ones with buttons are now old enough that they can be jailbroken. And the Voyage and Oasis models are among the best Kindles made, so if you can find one at a decent price, might be worth it. Kindles do NOT support epub files, unlike what someone claims below, but if you’re O

Buttons, LOL. But more seriously - I think the Kindle Oasis was one of the most comfortable and well-built Kindles made, what with the metal body and the page turn buttons, and mine still holds up well, so I use it happily enough. (I don’t buy books from Amazon any more, and as the Oasis had a notor
