I had no idea! I'd switched from Kindle to Boox because Boox runs Android, which is more hackable, but if Kobo supports SSH, I'll have to give it another look!

- genericuser256 1mo agoI liked my boox palma a lot until its display broke randomly after 2 months in a soft pocket and now it's ewaste.
- frm88 1mo agoI have a Poke since 2022 because amazon deleted my library from my Paperwhite. Same functions, better format and I can buy my books directly via browser from Kobo. No more perpetual airplane mode. Also, tons of formats, not limited to awz or epub.
- qlte 1mo agoI've had a Boox Page for about two years now as a Kindle Oasis replacement (current model is Boox Go 7 B&W). I get a bit more than a week of battery life typically which is good enough for me. And most valuable is using the same third party/self hosted apps for sync with my other devices. I've haven't used the Boox native store/reader even once.
- fred_is_fred 1mo agoIt's busybox underneath so you can hack on it but you can't run full apps in the Android sense.
- juiceland 1mo agoIt’s a shame that Boox disregards GPL2 intentionally. Wish we had more hardware makers that weren’t hostile to free software. [0]https://x.com/puffnfresh/status/1587064729977044994?s=46 https://x.com/puffnfresh/status/1587064729977044994?s=46
