What I'd love is a small, bug free e-reader, ideally waterproof, that I can load my own books onto and doesn't track me. Unfortunately such a product doesn't seem to exist.
- Nition 7y agoA Kindle is one of those (barring the waterproof) if you keep the wifi off and transfer your books via USB to your PC with Calibre.
- shkkmo 7y agoKindles are usually pretty limited in terms on the formats they work with since they really only want you to buy books through their store in their formats.
- zozbot234 7y agoCalibre takes care of that.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 7y agoExactly. I never connect mine to wifi, leave it on airplane mode, and use Calibre to transfer books.
- truckerbill 7y agoI have a Kobo Forma and it comes quite close to ideal for me at least.
- robin_reala 7y agoKobo Libra H20s aren’t too big (144mm x 159mm), are waterproof, and it’s trivial to sideload epubs.
- mynameisvlad 7y agoI mean, the Kindle is the same in that regard (not too big, waterproof, and easily sideloadable) but I believe Kobo also does tracking. I think you can technically unregister a Kindle and use it only with sideloaded books. I'm not sure, but Onyx (http://onyxboox.com/ http://onyxboox.com/) probably don't track.
