It depends on how much they cost and how old the model is but generally it's the best reason to buy a Kindle.
A lot of people buy them and realize they don't read as much and therefore sell them again.

I think the whole process took me less than an hour a couple of years ago.
If I recall correctly it went somewhere among the lines of

As for debugging random shit I only had to hard reset it once, not sure if I fucked up something.
Completely worth the effort for me, not only I can find books in epub I couldn't find in mobi but the formatting is pretty much always better.

nta but damn, reading this shit gave me a headache. it's so much easier on kobos, just put a zip file in your device and unplug it and you have koreader, no need to jailbreak or anything
>>
>>100392186
What Kobos offer better than kindle? I'm curious.
>>
>>100394813
other than the fact they're more open (no need to jailbreak them, you can install stuff like koreader or patches for the official firmware very easily), they also read more formats natively (kindles can't even do cbz without koreader)
there's more models/sizes available (amazon doesn't have an 8" kindle for example), and some kobos (not all of them, mine doesn't for example) have an SD card as internal memory so you can upgrade that easily
>>
>>100394799
I do agree, I would buy a kobo if I had to get an ereader now, but my kindle is over 10 years old and jailbreak was free.

That enough advantage for me. What model do you recommend? I don't really care about the price. And what about the color support? Is useful?

I owned a Kindle before (the last edition, maybe 2022 idk), it was decent, but I hated the Amazon bloat and spyware, and in some large PDFs it will start to slow down and be laggy while I turn the page, is that a Kindle problem, or just e-ink + large PDF file? Because that the main thing I'll use e-readers for; reading large scanned books that are hard to find nowadays, I prefer "real" books desu. If e-ink is slow as fuck I'd prefer reading in my computer.
>>
>>100393736
Don't connect your kindle to the internet and you will never see an ad.
>>
>>100395140
open a terminal and split the pdf beforehand, dummy
>>
>>100395140
>What model do you recommend?
depends on what size you need mostly. if you read manga, get an 8" model at the very least. Sage (8", the one I have) is great, Elipsa 2E if you want something bigger but the screen isn't 300PPI like the Sage. if you only read text then a 6 or 7" is enough, you can get either the new Clara BW or the Libra 2
>And what about the color support? Is useful?
I'd say it's a good addition if you read a lot of content with native color (comics, artbooks, etc). if you mostly read manga/novels, then no, get a B&W reader instead. the color filter makes it so that the screen has less contrast and is darker overall, so if you don't read a lot of color content a B&W model will be better
about pdfs, I honestly couldn't tell you, I don't read pdfs on mine, only cbzs and epubs (which kobos both support natively btw, kindles still don't support cbz and only got support for epub a year and a half ago kek)
>If e-ink is slow as fuck
define "slow as fuck". it's definitely much slower than a lcd/oled as far as refresh rate goes, but it's far from being unusable. it's made for reading books so you won't be watching youtube on it, that's for sure, but it's not gonna take more than half a second to turn a page for example

Kindles don't support epub, you can't just load one via USB and read it. The only change they made is that you can have Amazon convert epubs for you as part of the "Send to Kindle" service.

There's barely any real difference.

>>
>>100397378
you're probably right, idk, I don't have a kindle. still sucks you have to convert them/send them via their online service rather than just drag-and-dropping like I do on my kobo
also for image books (manga/comics/etc) the difference in performance between epub and cbz is night and day (in favor of cbz, obviously) so it really sucks kindles don't read those without koreader

>epub is a far better format than cbz
I don't disagree with this, but it's also slower. the difference on my Sage with koreader is very noticeable
>cbz doesn't have info on page direction
not relevant in the majority of cases, since 1: most people don't have large enough e-readers to display page spreads comfortably and 2: if the book you downloaded is retarded and doesn't have its images set up in a way that page spreads are displayed correctly, all you have to do is add a blank image after the cover
>metadata
on Kobo, cbz metadata works on the stock firmware and calibre (yeah I don't like jeetware either, but in that case it does work) does sync library metadata from its library to the Kobo's. and koreader lets you edit metadata now, including for cbz files
>or a table of contents
that's a good argument. I know some programs (ComicRack used to do this) used non-standard cbz files with metadata and ToC inside a ComicInfo.xml file, but I don't think koreader takes those into account
>>100402245
>I doubt e-ink is better for anything than an oled screen.
it is for reading lmao. my oled phone doesn't compare at all to my e-ink reader (and honestly at some point I'll just buy an e-ink phone because of how comfy those screens are, and I don't watch videos or play games on my phone anyway)

I pretty much only use koreader, only time I'm out of koreader is because something went wrong. There's some stuff to do but only as a curiosity, mostly deprecated projects that you can look at but nothing truly useful like koreader.

You can do some wild stuff with koreader though, it would take too long to get into everything. But the best thing I've done so far is setting up dropbox cloud storage, now instead of managing and moving stuff to and out of my kindles I just keep my library on dropbox and download what I want to my kindles when I want it. You can also do the same with FTP and WebDAV if you want to selfhost.
>>100380952

They're the least expensive option and converting a book is done for you by either Calibre or Send-To-Kindle. It's stupid easy. And Amazon has a 30 day return policy if you don't like it, other e-readers may not. It's probably the best option for a first-timer.

Does this fix pagination issues when reading large epubs?

I'm trying to get the community sources working to no avail. Mind sharing your settings.json file?

The stock reader it comes with, plus the kindle app. I got it at launch, so maybe they've updated since then but I couldn't get rid of the ghosting. I ended up returning it. The biggest problem was just how dark it was. I'll wait for gallery to get faster before I try color again.
>>
>>100422361
sure, here it is:

{
"source_lists": [
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Skittyblock/aidoku-community-sources/gh-pages/index.min.json"
],
"languages": [
"en"
]
}

>>100423011
also if it still doesnt work, ensure its on the right folder, on a kindle it should be something like /mnt/us/koreader/rakuyomi/settings.json
>>
>>100423011
Thanks, anon. Managed to get it working by creating a couple of extra folders on ./rakuyomi/.
Pretty sick project, I like it.

If I want to read stuff from my amazon jp account, can i use a modern kindle? I have a 2011 model, but can't connect it to the account
>>
>>100424290
which folders did you need to create?
>>
>>100422745
Instead of using the Kindle app you get better result by removing the DRM in Calibre or similar and using the default readers.
If you use other software you need more fine tuning than simply choosing the modes. You can adjust how many actions are needed until there's a full screen refresh and how much refreshing is delayed to skip animations. The Kindle application for instance has animations on flipping pages and doesn't have an option to disable it so you'd need to keep that in mind (though remving DRM is the better option).
>>
>>100424528
you could always de-drm stuff from your account and sideload it
>>
>>100417822
nigga do you really think he gives a fuck about your opinion since he has clearly tried the inverted mode and prefers it for reading at night? retarded i must voice my opinion aah bitch
>>
>>100379824
too bad the newer kindles all use secure boot so it's way more difficult to jailbreak these days. if my paperwhite ever dies i'm going kobo
>>
>>100424685
Using dark mode on an e-reader is cargo cult.
>>
>>100424570
sources and downloads.
Sources work kinda fucky, but I assume that's not your responsibility (Mangadex doesn't load chapters and Batoto crashes when adding series to the library)
>>
>>100425128
weird, mangadex should work, its the one i use the most
would you mind uploading your crash.log file? it should be on koreader's home folder
>>
>>100424528
Yeah but iirc you have to use a Japanese VPN for it go through amazon.co.jp
And obviously kindle doesn't support vpn, you have to set it up on router
>>
>>100425962
Why must Amazon fuck over their customers?
With Kobo you can just use your account on https://books.rakuten.co.jp or simply access the selection on https://www.kobo.com/jp/en.
>>
>>100426561
It's not that big of a deal.
Once you register your kindle, it will always remain on the japanese storefront.
This is only a problem because jp amazon uses a different account than all the rest of the country specific amazon websites.
>>
>>100425128
i've sent some fixes for the crash when adding batoto mangas to the library and to create those folders automatically

the mangadex source not showing any chapters seems like a upstream bug, i've sent a PR fixing it, but here's a build with the fix applied while they don't accept it: https://files.catbox.moe/0bj0kr.aix. just replace multi.mangadex.aix with this in the sources folder

>>100389668
This looks awesome anon, thanks for sharing. The only reason I bought an android e-ink device was for manga.

How's Carta 1300? Can you tell a difference in person? I don't really see one on video.

Based.

I wish I could find a cheap $20 kindle somewhere. I dont read enough to buy a kindle or any other ereader and im not 100% sure I would use it. I can throw away $20 to try something, but not $80 or whatever they want for a new kindle
>>
>>100429622
there are some for like 50$ on ebay tho
>>
>>100430820
even $50 is a bit too steep
$20 is the upper limit of what i can comfortably throw away
>>
>>100392482
But what about epub?
>>
>>100431731
werks on my kobo
if you have a kindle then it'll work if you're using koreader. if not I'm sure there's programs other than calibre that can convert them to .mobi or whatever format kindle prefers

KOreader is literal shit because it has no vertical text support, which any real weeb would need.
>>
>>100434399
There are some ways around it, as discussed on this issue.

I'm not interested in shitty hacks that have obvious limitations.

>Plus subscription for file syncing
you dont need it if you manage your own data
the tablet runs linux and supports ssh and sftp from what I read
>>
>>100434735
>i really want this specific functionality but i can't be arsed to do the bare minimum to get it working
Alright, suit yourself.
>>
>>100435150
>specific functionality
It's a basic functionality every other e-reader software in the world supports. I'm not jumping through hoops to get something that's WORSE, are you fucking stupid?
>>
>>100393736
message amazon support that you bought it for your kid and you don't want them seeing random ads. worked for me.
