Hello, I am looking for a 7 or 8 inch e reader which supports KOreader. I dont have to big expectations, it should just have a Touchscreen and preferably wifi so I can wirelessly transfer books to it. I currently use an old kobo aura, and ereaders based on Linux are pretty interesting to me, but i also dont really care if the device runs Android. Also, I would like to stay und er my budget if 250€

    Thank you very much for the quick reply, the boox series of e-tablets really looks interesting. I am sorry i forgot to write my budget, since most e readers I saw werent more expansive than 250€, but I would like to stay und er that budget if possible. But thank you for pointing out these kind of tablets, i didnt know they existed

      Budget is budget, and I respect that.

      One thing to keep in mind, is, outside of lower PPI (which is probably OK-ish near 200, then looks bad pretty fast), a lot of the cheaper options save money by not protecting the screen. The e-ink panels are fragile, and in my experience recessed isn’t enough to protect them. You really want glass or at least some kind of plastic (think like the switch) to protect the screen, or they’re really easy to damage.
