Can't you use their app or books on your e-ink reader?
- notesinthefield 2y agoAt the moment there is no way to download books neither from app nor website and not all ereaders support the installation of the app. I only found out about this by listening to a podcast the CEO recently did. Bookshop also wont refund ebook sales.
- goosedragons 2y agoOnly if you have an Android ereader that supports installing apps.
- carlosjobim 2y agoThat should be every e-reader except for Kindle, as far as I know.

- goosedragons 2y agoNo, Kobo and Pocketbook run Linux. Most of the Sony models too. Some Android readers like Tolino and Nook don't allow installing apps without jailbreaking.
- carlosjobim 2y agoThank you (and the other poster) for the clarification!
- m4rtink 2y agoBoth Kobo and PocketBook readers use some custom embedded Linux distro. OnyxBoox uses Android, but its hardly universal.
- stevenAthompson 2y agoI have a Boox page. It's quirky, but I love that it has the normal Google play store and a great battery life. Now I can use whatever app suits me, and I can buy my ebooks from whatever store has the best deal. Sometimes I'll find Kobo is cheaper than Kindle, for example. Often I read older fiction that's out of copyright, I use the Moon+ Reader app on the Boox and it's as good as the Kindle except free.
