I've been using an Onyx Boox Note with inoreader for a few months, and it's not super polished, but it's a great device if you're interested in an e-ink RSS reader!
It runs de-googled Android out of the box, so it can run most apps. Some of my other favorite apps to use on it are it's integrated ebook reader with pen support and integrated machine translators, F-Droid, Firefox, Nextcloud to sync my ebook collection with Calibre, and Materialistic for reading HN.
I've also got Twidere for Twitter, Frost for Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Messenger and Goodreads on it, but I'm trying to wean myself off of those platforms.
- criddell 6y agoI've read that Onyx isn't living up to the terms of the GPL by refusing to make their source code available: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23735962 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23735962
- yosito 6y agoOh yeah, I definitely wouldn't say that Onyx is a super trustworthy company. Nor is the OS super secure or trustworthy. A fully open source OS would be better, and the bootloader is unlocked, so if I had the time I could try to install a better OS. But right now most of my hacking energy is focused on my getting my Nextcloud system fully setup. I see the actual devices themselves as interchangeable.
