Why not just use your phone or a laptop?
e-ink easier on the eyes
>>107876135Eink screen is a little easier on the eyes and the battery life is way betterPlus some people benefit from the fact that you can't just switch to watching porn on your Kindle
>>107876135Phone is too small to comfortably read books, laptop is too big to comfortably hold in bed, on a plane, on the shitter, or whatever. Kindles are also super light and have insane battery life, I bought mine in large part for camping because of those two reasons. (Plus it was only $79 or something on Prime Day and I had $50 of rewards credit.)
>>107876135one thing for everything is bad actually, ruminate on this too long and you'll realize people shouldn't wear yoga pants in public but i digress.
>>107876135Battery life, pixel density.
What's the best e reader in 2026? Last I shopped around, there were a lot of models that were locked into an ecosystem like Amazon.
>>107876135E-paper legit looks beautiful to me, I love the grainy matte display. Too bad I can't give up buying used paperbacks, so I barely have any use for them.
>>107876177Yes but can you put pirated mangas on it?
>>107876264nta but yes, I use .cbzs in KOReader on a KoboAndroid ones like Boox can just use Mihon
>>107876283I will look into this. I prefer holding the actual book. But I just don't have the physical room to shelve entire series anymore. I hate the idea of going digital, but it is what it is
>>107876135Because it's more pleasurable to read. >>107876201>Boox Great Android reader, best all-rounder with diverse screen sizes. Most customizable. >Bigme Same as Boox, just cheaper, but with more jank. Suppoesdly battery life is really unoptimized. >Kobo If you want something that just works and want to risk rooting it for more content, then go ahead.>KindleDon't recommend because it's easy to kill device while rooting and it's all subscription-based nonsense. If you're a musicfag and want sheet music, get something bigger than 11 inches.
>>107876323Thank you, I'll look into those. Pretty simple uses here, just books. Colors would be nice but I'm already not into comics so no real loss.
>>107876338NTA but I use PocketBook Color 3. It's nice.
>>107876135Because I can't stand being mkultrad by my shitter pixels pwm screen for more than 5 minutes
it's a normalfaggot meme along with vinyl players
