  Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4] Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Is the pocketboom era the right choice for me ?

  You might want to use Calibre on your PC to manage your library, it is entirely free and a fantastic piece of software. It also can convert eBook formats very well, also the abovementioned AZW format or KFX format, and with plugins, it can even remove copy protection. Source: 10 months ago

• Has anyone used Humble Bundle to buy books for the Remarkable 2?

  Calibre can convert the file, and if you install the right plugin it can apparently upload the file to your tablet as well. I haven't tried the plugin, so I can't really talk about how (or how well) it works, but from the Github repo's README page it sounds like the author isn't maintaining it on a regular basis anymore. I'm fine with uploading files using the built-in web page anyway. Source: 10 months ago
