So is it reasonably easy for one to step out of the walled garden? I've considered buying one (Kobo) but I've read comments saying it constantly wants to connect to wifi (after a factory reset which sometimes is required because of buggy firmware) and transfering files without using the desktop software is nearly impossible.
I just want to read PDFs, text files, possibly HTML with some light CSS. I'd like sync to take at most 30 seconds of work. Would you recommend one? Any alternatives?
- 7Z7 11y agoI have a Kobo mini. I never use wifi, though when I have used it, it worked fine. I often buy books on the Kobo store and they appear immediately in the desktop app, ready to sync, which they do no problem. For all other books I use Calibre which is perfect.
