If I have the money, I'd be just as glad to separate my ebook-reading from everything else. When I read an ebook, I do want an eInk screen, ridiculous battery life, and no distracting apps or websites.
- wanorris 15y agoMy problem is that I ultimately find an e-ink Kindle too limited as a reading device. I have a substantial number of ebooks in PDF format, and only a minority of them are effectively readable on my 2nd gen Kindle. (There are other use cases like comics and cookbooks where e-ink falls down on the job as well.) Honestly, my Android phone with ezPDF is a better reader. So something like this looks just about perfect.
- tsm 15y agoMy completely subjective personal preference is better than your completely subjective personal preference! No, in all seriousness you make a good point about PDFs. I eventually realized that reading, say, a programming book was best done with a dead tree and that I should stop struggling with my Kindle. As a PDF, the text was a bit too small. As a converted document, the reflowed text killed the formatting, which was also no fun. Full-size PDF would be nice.
