Hacker News Reader

What model of e-ink reader did you switch to?

Onyx Boox Poke 3. TBH it's a bit overpriced compared with Kindle Paperwhite which is what I had but the feature set is comparable to Kindle Oasis. More importantly, I wanted to be able to sync my books, highlights, and notes cross-platform. Uploading epub to Google Play Books lets me do this

I have the boox a4 size and the normal ipad size. I am not sure I like to read book on it. Kindle is better somehow. The problem is pdf is too small to over there. Hence the chinese phone home device.

Finally go back to Goodreader and even working copy (<20 MB only due to GitHub restriction) and Dropbox.

Read a lot of things and hence still struggle any old and responsive e-ink reader without phoning home.

Those devices are a bit too big for novels IMO. Reading with a two page spread on my Note Air isn't too bad but the device is still pretty heavy.

The 7.8" devices are IMO perfect book size and that's where I do most of my novel reading.
