Please stop me from buying the viral pocket e-reader

So I had to look up what this was and can see why it’s tempting. But what’s the point in carrying it and your phone? You can read anything you want on the kindle or kobo or Libby apps already. If notifications bother you when reading on your phone, turn them off. And I say this as someone with kindl

Why are B/W button devices dying out?

People are really sleeping on the Nook. I don’t use one personally, but I rooted a teal Nook Glowlight 4 (late 2025 model) for my husband. I installed KOReader on it for epubs and Libby for library books. The BW screen is perfectly crisp and the device is super fast. Crisper and faster than my Kobo

Please deinfluence me! Boox Palma 2

I have a Kobo Libra 2 and a Boox Palma 2. Pangit user interface ni Palma, and mas mabilis maubos yung battery. Cute siya tingnan and very handy... kaso i dont think it's worth the price. Bought mine sa shopee for 18.3k.... and hindi ko nasulit siya kasi I still prefer my Kobo over it. I kinda regret

Are really phone sized ereaders worth it? Can people use it daily and finish books in a regular basis?

i have read so many books on my smaller ereaders (former palma owner, own both the Xteink X4 and X3, as well as an Obook5). so long as you're okay with reading on the smaller screen, it's great to have something that's always in your pocket / bag / purse / on you in some way. Especially with the X4

should I get an e-reader? even though my shelves are not filled to the brim with books? (rant, kind of.)

You can have 0 physical books and still be able to purchase an ereader. An ereader is just a tool for reading and there is no requirement that says you need to have a massive personal collection of physical books in order to own an ereader. Personally, I think the ereader makes me reead more than ph

Would you swap a Kobo Clara BW for the new PocketBook Era Lite?

So I have actually just replaced my Clara Colour for a Pocketbook Era Lite and I love it. You're right in saying the software experience is lacking compared to Kobo but not in a massive way. Since getting my X4 I much prefer page turn buttons and I use KOReader to sync between the two. Maybe not rel

EReader Recs for someone who is unsure about EReaders

You can own digital things. You just need to buy things without drm - or remove the drm and use devices that support de-DRM'd books. The industry standard is Adobe drm, which is shockingly easy to remove. Only kindle afaik doesnt use it, nor be very open with other formats. They don't even let you d

How many of you have gotten a backup device?

I'd wait, wouldn't want another device without a backlight, also touch would be nice to have and a less fragile screen. Tbh I only bought the x4 because of the price, crosspoint/hackability and because kobo clara colour doesn't have a flat screen.

Is anyone actually using an SD card?

I wish I had an SD card on my Kobo Clara Colour. It's 16gb, sure, but I also read manga, which takes up a lot of space compared to standard text based novels. I could store it on the SD card, and have the internal storage be dedicated to novels.

Anyone using CrumBLE on the Xteink X4? How has your experience been?

I built my own fork based off Crosspoint 1.5. I was not happy with how Crosspoint spit out dictionary information. Lots of weird symbols and errors. I uploaded an English/Spanish Dictionary Pack to my Fork and have been really happy with it so far. Dictionary is really complex and there are so many
