Ruskies' PocketBooks fit your description
thanks bro, looking good
>What "hacking" could you possibly want to do on an e-reader?
I dunno anon. I guess it's just a IQfytard in me. I always try to get shell or root on different devices I own. I don't know why I am like that. I guess god built me that way.
>kobo
thanks
Get any cheap kobo (avoid the new color ones, get one of the older ones) and put koreader on it. It's an easy process and with koreader you can do lots of cool stuff like ssh to your reader over wifi.
>avoid the new color ones
why?
The color is achieved with a filter array on top of the panel. The result is that a lot of light is filtered and the display becomes a lot darker than the basic panel.
You need to use the front light a lot more often. Completely turning it off mainly works in bright daylight conditions.
Color content also tends to have more ghosting compared to b&w since they use more greys. We'll have to see how well Kobo handles that.
They only announced 6" and 7" color models for now, which begs the question what color content you want to read in that size.
damn god made you a moron whos addicted to copy pasting lines of code from the internet in different devices? thats crazy, my god actually gave me curiosity to try and get access on shit by myself
yeah theyre great except for the fact you can't lock the screen. i mean unironically, they are great devices except for some moronic reason the devs wont implement a screen lock
>inb4 WHY WOULD YOU NEED A SCREEN LOCK ON AN eREADER?
kys im not entertaining you people today
holy shit
You're a moron
>isn't DRM pozzed
All of them allow you to load pirated ebooks. You can literally just email them to the device, though Kindles will convert them to a native format (automatically) which runs the risk of breaking some formatting, so for that reason I recommend a kobo.
>Hackable
What "hacking" could you possibly want to do on an e-reader? It's for reading books. Just read, homosexual.
Supernote X2 is recommendable for allowing the user to replace parts like battery or motherboard.
Nice website, very considerate of the user as well.
Are e-ink readers at the point where they can do pdfs without issue on non expensive models?
It depends on what you consider expensive. You can get 10" readers for a bit over $300 and have a ton of options for $500.
Which of those do pdfs well?
I think all of the 10" models work well with pdf. Boox tends to have the most exhaustive options in the default reader in addition to allowing you to install other Android readers.
No and they're never going to be. Get a fricking clue about what eink is and what it's for.
any larger einks gonna be "overpriced"
Tolino lets you install android apks
Kobo also has some third party open sauce proggies
lol "overpriced trash" like you've ever even seen one in real life.
I have one running debian and it's basically perfect; the only flaw is they're no longer for sale so I can't replace it if it breaks
Lol what? It's ai age, you are supposed to listen not read, dummy
>t. illiterate
there's dozens of studies showing you retain much more information if you read
Dunno nowadays but I bought a new PW4 on release and I never ever connected it to internet ever nor it asked me to do shit, it was meh tier and .mobi sucks ass. Then it became jailbreakeable, took 5 minutes to do so and install koreader and it's been god tier since then.
what's the best e-ink tablet for drawing and painting?
Supernote is the only one who has software intended for drawing. Everyone else just has note taking applications.
I want the palma so bad
Is there anything with an extremely high PPI? All the EBooks I've tried had a little bit of a blur to them.. even the newest amazons/kobos
300ppi is the highest you currently get and almost universally adopted. Some cheap models use lower 212 ppi and the larger 10" and 13" panels used to be limited as well.
Blur can come from other factors like screen surfaces.
Any you recommend? The closest to no blur I've seen is the Boox but I don't want to china server in my house
You can use a dns blocker to block the botnet. I use Rethink DNS.
Are you guys excited for Kobo Libra Colour? Can't wait to ditch my Paperwhite 5.
I don't see the appeal of 7" color readers. Epubs don't really benefit from color and for pdf and comics, 7" is too small. 10" and 13" makes a lot more sense with that.
The current meta is digging out your old 2013 Nexus 7 from whatever dresser drawer you have it in, shoving one of these sd card adapters into the port and using Readera for all your PDF and EPUB books
