What E ink tablet is best for reading these days? My Kindle Paperwhite got crushed by an butthole TSA agent the last time I went to the airport. Would like something that allows me to install android apps so I can read free books from my library.
What E ink tablet is best for reading these days?
Boox
Read the post dumbass. I don’t want a book, I want an eink tablet.
mmmm clussy
Boox or MeeeBook (formerly Likebook).
Boox is more premium (but also slightly more fragile). MeeeBook/Likebook is cheaper and is more likely to have a microSD slot.
That said, if your only desire is free books, get whichever fricking ereader you like that's cheapest and just sideload books from libgen.rs. If you plan to read lots of PDFs, pick something you can install KOReader on.
Still Boox. It runs reasonably clean Android, and it's eerily quiet for being a piece of 21st century tech (verified with wireshark). It has a far too powerful cpu for its size.
> I want teh appz!
Install f droid and knock yourself out. Or install any number of apks. Or if you want the botnet, open settings and turn on gapps. Then you will have play store, and all the ads/tracking you're used to on Google.
Keep in mind that it's still an eink device. It's black and white, and has a refresh time measured in low single digit fps at best. So you're effectively limited to music, reading, news, comic/manga and vpn apps. So exactly what you would use an ebook for. (Maybe note taking )
If you willing to spend your shekels, there's color, pen input, and even A4 size in the lineup.
Bought mine before the coof after my 10 year old Kindle's battery exploded. Best 200 shekels I spent lately. Especially after I discovered I can install f droid.
>has a refresh time measured in low single digit fps at best.
This is definitely going to improve over the next few generations of the tech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XduK7wn9SE4&t=2
I fricking don't care.
If I wanted a general purpose device, I would have bought an IPS tablet (the device I'm writing this from). Eink. Is. For. Reading. What is so hard to understand in that?
Boox
>got crushed by an butthole
based butthole bullying nerds and bookworms. how things should be
Kobo forma, thanks me later. Install koreader for maxxreading.
I use a 6" Kobo Clara that's perfect for me. Great battery life, no Amazon bullshit, blue light filter for reading before bed. It's great. Just don't get an e-reader if you're hoping to use it for manga, just get a cheap Android tablet or an iPad mini (screen ratio is closest to the paper manga is printed on) and you'll have a much better time.
Girlfriend gave me a kobo mini she had laying around. Absolutely love it.
Recommended kobo forma to sister. She absolutely loves it.
Is there a IQfy app that could be installed on the Kindle readers or another e-book readers?
Why would you want "apps" on a book reading device? IQfy is not a book. If you want apps, go get a tablet.
Tablets all have backlight screens that destroy the eyes
Not being able to browse IQfy on it is a good thing, this site is bad for you. Stop wasting your time here and actually read a fricking book. Why waste time reading shitposts when you can read things that are actually useful?
And reading something like that on e-ink displays would be shit anyway. The scrolling would be slow, images would load slow, and for large threads it would be even worse. An app like that would be too interactive when e-readers are just meant to display text.
>IQfy is not a book
Then on a modded Kindle reader on another brand of modded e-book reader.
I installed android on a Nook which worked very well. I haven't tried to install Clover or Kuroba on it though.
I just got a Boox Nova Air a few weeks ago and it seems to work great for manga. Plus it runs android so there's really no limit to what you can run on it.
Not OP but Is it really worth the 350? I know I am a cheep bastard but if it really is good at manga that might be worth it. Books I still prefer paper but pirated manga would be nice.
The ease of convenient piracy on the device is what makes it worth it for me. You'll get your money's worth from the money you'd save from not buying physical books and manga pretty quickly.
Don't fall for the manga on e-reader meme. It's a fricking stupid choice. You're locking yourself out of colored pages, it takes an eternity to zoom in on anything, e-ink displays are very pricey compared to a cheap LCD tablet so you're stuck with a smaller screen, lower contrast so black and whites actually look worse etc etc
Just get a cheap android tablet and be done with it. You'll be so glad you did compared to trying to read manga on an e-reader. E-readers are for BOOKS.
The 7.8" screen size and 300 dpi is plenty fine for manga. I've not needed to zoom in. I do agree on the colored pages part but that's one of the tradeoffs of the tech as it stands right now. At least for me I don't mind if the few colored pages in manga are displayed b&w. I tried reading manga on a regular tablet in the past and it was too hard on my eyes.
This, 7.8" is perfect for manga. My LikeBook Mars I got a few years ago still works fine.
I have a Likebook Mars and I disagree. It's great for most manga, but for more detailed stuff like Berserk, or scans with small text, it isn't big enough. I regret not going 10".
>Muh colored pages
So what? Just don't read manga that have colored pages on them just for that tiny percentage of colored pages that are so important.
stop trying to intentionally be a dimwit
That looks like dogshit moron
Jesus Christ that looks like total garbage
The remarkable. Just do away with all its cloud shit. I keep mine on airplaine mode perpetually.

Anyone have the newer bigger Onyx Boox?
Looking for an ereader with moronic battery life. I'm talking a month on a single charge, that kind of thing. Even better if it features no connectivity, no stores, no text formatting, no support for a pen, no backlight. Just an extremely bare bones low consumption single purpose ereader.
Does such a device exist? My paperwhite 1 back in the day lasted about three weeks with koreader, backlight off and flight mode, but even that was still a bit bloated.
