I’ve been thinking about getting an e-reader (thinking kobo or boox) and wanted to know if it’s possible to remove unwanted stuff (like the play store) using adb? I plan on just downloading .epub files from annas-archive and ao3, so it would be good if firefox or mull can be installed via .apk.
Nook Simple Touch. You can get one with backlight for less than $40 usually.
It takes microSD, android 2.1 (lol)
There’s an easy app to root it, then you install whatever (fbreader, moon, etc), or use it’s built-in reader. The ancient android version means you’ll have to dig for apks that work with it, but once it’s set up, it’s done.
The biggest draw vs newer stuff, is… it’s tiny and light. there’s almost nothing to it, it just works. No browser, no apps, just book.
