Do you use e-readers? I like to think that I'll read more if I get one, has that been the case with you? Which ones do you recommend?
>>
Generally yes, but still have to make yourself read.
For starters get a one of the cheap 300ppi Kobo like the Clara BW or a used Kindle. Don't expect them to handle pdf or other fixed layouts without limitations.
>>

Just use your 11 inch tablet

pffft hahahahaha

Yeah, it feels pretty good to read on an e book. You can store assload of books in those things. The best feature imo is the fact that you can resize the letter font. Its easier on the eyes. But as anon above me said, buying an ebook wont magically get you to the mood to actually read books. You gotta be an actual book reader, or at least to really want to read books in general
>>
A kindle is fine for every use case. I've had one for a decade and only use it for reading books. Most of you disabled retards can't read because tik tok
>>
boughtered a kindle 4 about 15 years ago and i still use it reguralry. one of the best tech gizmos i've buydered i think. they're cheap and lasts for years and reading a book is like watching a movie for me. i have very vivid imagination and a deep and expansive inner life in general.
>>
happy to have bought a Kindle 4, chonky but easy to tweak with all I needed, when I don't use it an anime girl goes to sleep
>>

>I like to think that I'll read more if I get one,
after I finally got a 10 inch ereader with a processor that can handle pdfs, I read more programming/ technical books in 3 months than in the last 3 years. But I might be specifically sensitive to distractions at my PC and annoyed by LCD screens
>>

I bought a sony ereader for 10$ off eBay first and it was great, used it enough to upgrade to a paperback sized boox
>>
>>108264707
Yeah I went from not reading at all to reading all the time. I got a Boox but if i was looking again id get something else
>>
I can't decide between a basic 6" ereader only for books or an 11" or so android based device that can handle pdfs. Is there a tablet with e ink that's using reasonably modern hardware and isn't some ancient shit with 6GB of memory and Android 13?
>>
>>108264707
I use my phone. I read almost all the time, everywhere. Can't imagine carrying that shit around, while I can just store my phone in my pocket
>>
>>108266105
Boox Note Air 5C has Android 15
Bigme B10 has Android 14 and 8GB of RAM.
>>
>>108266105
Do both.
>>
Kobo libra 2
they need to make a 3 but they don´t want money apparently
>>
>>108264707
they’re great for ebooks but I have so many computers already that I prefer an existing ipad despite it being worse for books
if you have no use for a tablet then eink is a good choice
>>
>>108264707
>I like to think that I'll read more if I get one
I do read more since getting a kobo clara because I can take that thing anywhere literally inside my pocket or inside a jacket, portability is better than most books, and the tons of free books I can load into it, but if you dont already enjoy reading books as it is I dont think it would change anything desu
>>
>>108266105
Sounds like you need both.
E-readers are wat better for reading than tablets.
Chunks have a pretty small one that costs around $50, check AliExpress.>>108267961
>>
Why would anyone need one of these? If I want to read I use my computer.
>>
If you don't read because you can't use a light in bed because of your SO or because it's cumbersome to carry books while traveling, for example, eraders will help.
If you don't read generally, e-readers won't help.
>>
>>108268021
How does it fare with Manga? I had a boox palm 7 ordered but it's been missing in transit for a month now.
>>
i got a 6" eink smartphone cant recall which one of the top of my head it was a cheap one. been using it on my daily train commute for reading and it's quite comfy to just have in my jacket. since i always have it on me i read whenever i expect a few minutes of downtime instead of scrooling social media.

6 inch Pocketbook Verse Pro is too small. Boox Air 4c is great but a bit big for everyday carry. 7-8 inch might work

>Do you use e-readers?
yes
>I like to think that I'll read more if I get one, has that been the case with you?
yes, though it will require you looking for books you like to read too, but the convenience and comfort on the eyes does help a lot on its own
>Which ones do you recommend?
none in particular; just make sure to get one that has an e-ink display, which is what gives the eye comfort & insane battery life (weeks on a single charge even reading multiple hours per day, assuming you put it in airplane mode while reading)
>>
>>108268998
7" is too small for manga, Palma is going to be even worse due to the aspect ratio.
>>
>>108269083
>a bit big for everyday carry
It can fit in any bag or even a purse. You're not going to fit a 7.8" in your pockets either.
>>
>>108269292
True. Lugging a bag around can be a pain in the ass. The Pocketbook I carry around but Boox stays home
