I want to read books, not just buy them.

I just wish there were options like the Kindle Voyage. Slim, book-shaped, with physical page turn buttons on both sides. I absolutely love mine, but I wish it were waterproof and had a night light mode for the backlight.

I have to say, the amazon affiliate link is extremely ironic.

I am very happy with my black-and-white libra, it hasn't really tried to sell me anything aside from a widget that went away permenantly when i Xed out of it, and the buttons to the store which i got rid of via modding.

Ended up getting a Kobo Elipsa 2E myself a while back, and it's been a real pleasure to use. There's no stupid device-level DRM on it to try and prevent me from actually using it for my reading, and the onboard storage is just a simple microSD so it's really easy to upgrade if I want to fit even more books.

KOReader has been a real treat to run on it, letting me sync books from my home NAS over WebDav, push books directly to it over scp, I've even been poking at a plugin to have it automatically sync books off of a local reading tracker I've written.

That and the form factor are the only reasons I went with the Boox Palma instead.

Boox are awesome! Good default reader app, nice refresh rate and e-ink options, trash but not intrusive Android build and ability to use KoReader.

I used to have a Note Air, sold it and moved to Poke 3, finished countless books and never looked back since. I can’t understand what Kindle or Kobo offers other than a locked environment.
