Will it have a browser?
It would be great for reading HN, coding, writing if I could use it with a browser.
I do all these in the browser and I only need black and white and no fancy tools. So even if the browser is much slower than on a desktop, it would still be great.
- martin_a 5y agoPeople usually recommend the "Boox" devices for that. As they are running on Android you can therefore, after activating it, access the Play Store to get a browser running... Maybe that's the way to go.
- goosedragons 5y agoYou don't even need to activate the Play Store. They include a browser out of the box.
- tluyben2 5y agoSecond the Boox; unfortunately there are gpl violations which is a shame, but I got an A4 sized one before I knew that and I use Pocket to read online stuff offline and use the built in reader to read books and work on papers (the dual note/read view is lovely).
- martin_a 5y agoDon't you find the A4 ones to large? I've been looking into these devices to replace my handwritten notebook but also for reading and so on. I think 10.3 inch might be better suited, what's your take on that?
- tluyben2 5y agoI really like big screen because I read mostly papers. And I need to write in the margin for that.
- schwartzworld 5y agoYou can download einkbro which has optimizations for eink screens.
- martin_a 5y agoI think I'd prefer to run Firefox with uBlock Origin etc. on it, though. For one, that enables synching with other devices, on the other hand, solid ad-blocking will probably be helpful with performance in general.
