What about a 'remarkable'?
A bit big for an eReader perhaps (10") but supports Epub and PDF, is a fairly open platform with lots of community activity and they are about to add the ability to sync with cloud services which I think will enhance its usability.
Not to mention the ability to take notes with a pen.
Or there are three similar Onyx Boox products.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 5y agoFor reading it does a bad job (check the reddit) and at a pricepoint of 800$, a boox might be better
- tomComb 5y agoNot sure where you got the $800? The Boox has many different models so specifying a price without a model wouldn't make sense, so I assume you were referring to the RM2. The RM2 is US$400, which is expensive compared to e-readers, but is not $800. And BTW, yes, it is annoying how USD are just assumed, but that is our reality for better or worse (and I'm not an American).
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 5y ago800$ was at the remarkable 2, but I didn't realize it put the pricing in Canadian Dollars, so the total for a tablet + "pen plus" ended up being 800$ CAD, not 800$ USD.
- sabauma 5y agoI've replaced my Kindle with a Remarkable 2 and am generally pleased with the overall experience. The larger screen is nice, as is the ability to read/annotate academic papers on the same device. There are a bunch of little things that would improve the epub experience, like improved navigation and bookmarks (never really made use of these on my Kindle though). The biggest missing feature IMO as a Kindle replacement is the lack of builtin lighting.
- nafizh 5y agoLove my remarkable. But it doesn't have a backlight, so you cannot read in the dark which is a pain point.
