Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don’t last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I’m interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.

recommendations?

    I’ve heard good things about Kobo, but I have an old Kindle Voyage that I absolutely love. It’s the perfect size, it has proper pages turn buttons (on both sides of the screen!), and the battery lasts forever. If it were just waterproof it would be the perfect device. And I’m happy with it being a Kindle because I can check out ebooks from there library and just have them show up on my ereader

      @[email protected] yeah I had a paper white and I loved the ease of use, especially with Libby. What I don’t like is that you can’t actually buy (and own) books in Amazon, and if you want them Jinny’s in other formats it is a pain

        Yeah, definitely don’t ever get books from Amazon. I just use it for library books, or use Amazon to load my own epubs onto it
