Leading into OT... but does anyone have suggestions for the opposite of this. I would like a large eReader, where the text for say a paperback can be scaled to 8.5x11" size, or similarly reading a technical book at equivalent to print size.
- siliconpotato 2y agoAren't you essentially describing a kindle scribe?
- tracker1 2y agoThank you, for the price that's pretty close.
- abound 2y agoI use the Boox Max Lumi for this, it's a 13.3" eInk Android tablet, great for writing + for reading/marking/signing PDFs.
- Swizec 2y agoI've enjoyed my reMarkable for reading on a large e-ink screen. Scribbling your notes right on the page is a great UX when reading papers. But unlike a Kindle, it really needs to rest in your lap or be propped up against something. It starts to feel surprisingly heavy in your hands after a few minutes. Probably more from the torque on your fingers than the weight itself.
- pklausler 2y agoWorse, no backlight on the rM2.
- mkmk 2y agoI wonder if you could find an old Kindle DX on ebay or something.
- whichfawkes 2y agoSeconding the Onyx Box Max Lumi here. I bought one back when they were much more expensive and I still think it's been worth it.
- LegitShady 2y agonot quite letter paper size, but the kobo elipsa has a 10.3" screen and text scaling is whatever you want.
- abawany 2y agoI have been using a Sony DPT-S1 and a reMarkable 2 for this for the last 4 years. The Sony has a nearly perfect display and weight but only supports PDFs and requires manual content transfers (usb, microsd, or download via a local non-https web server) while the rM2 has excellent transfer mechanisms but has a smaller display. The Sony is quite old now (released 10+ years ago) but still has excellent battery life and functionality - you can probably find it on eBay for a very low cost.
