  • Recommended E-reader? [more in comments]
    An Android tablet and the CoolReader app. For me, it's simply the best eReader experience available. It's incredibly customisable. The only downside is it doesn't support PDF or AZW3, both of which can be reformatted to your preferred file type with Calibre anyway. Source: over 1 year ago

  • Conversion from epub to kepub, and related Calibre use
    I only read kepub files on my Kobo Clara 2E (kobo stock). I use KOReader to read PDF, CBZ (comic files) and epub. Source: 5 months ago
  • First E-reader. I am thinking of buying Kobo Libra 2?

    Hi! I recently became the owner of an e-reader, and wanted an easy way to get web articles from Hacker News and my bookmarks onto the device, on-demand, for easy reading. I'm using KOReader (https://koreader.rocks/) on my device, and like lots of e-book readers it allows browsing online catalogs of books (e.g. From sources like Project Gutenberg) using the OPDS protocol. News2reader is a self-hosted Node... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Is the pocketboom era the right choice for me ?
    No I don't have any special lag. But I also don't use the default reading app, I use Koreader. I think the normal reading app also doesn't have much lag. Most modern eReaders have much less than 5s lag. Source: 10 months ago
