No, but the nearest competitor, the Kobo Clara HD, is rather recent, is only a tad smaller for the same screen, and also requires a "login" to activate.
However the Kobo takes .epub files without further ado. I think Amazon lost the format war, not that conversion is hard (cf. Calibre-ebook)
- sudosysgen 7y agoThere's an additional advantage to the Kobo. The whole operating system is just on an SD card, unencrypted. You can copy it, image it, edit, modify it and so on very, very easily and it's impossible to brick it as long as you made a copy of the SD card.
