Kindle handles only amazon format but u can convert to it. Kindle paperwhite is da best and actually on sale atm. Might still want to w8 black friday

Just buy a fucking tablet, ebooks are a meme

>>12102631
None of those.
>Will i have any problem using files from libgen and b-ok on them?
Yes. They do not display PDFs natively without constantly needing to zoom in and manipulate it.
Only ereaders worth buying are large format PDF capable devices like the Sony Digital Paper.

Call me a shill all you want, but reading on an e-ink screen is objectively a whole lot better than reading on a tablet.

>>12102736
Its objectively slower for sure. I sure love to wait 3 good seconds for a fucking page to load.

>>12102736
call me a shill if you want, but not reading printed books makes you objectively a faggot.

>>12102747
This

>>12102744
I have the 2018 Kindle Paperwhite and page turns are instant. Not close to instant, instant.

>>12102747
HURRR DURRRR IM A FUCKING LUDDITE LOOK AT ME I SNIFF OLD BOOKS AND JERK MYSELF ON THE PAGES DURRRRR

>>12102761
Now load a 100 mb illustrated PDF there and get back to me.

>>12102761
Nigger. Doesn't work fast with PDF, NOT TO MENTION it isnt legible on such a puny screen

>>12102815
What do you need PDFs for? I read books on it

>>12102763

This is a literature board, not your manchild cartoons subreddit.

Non fiction and academic journals. Also preferable because it's literally a copy of the real book and has corresponding real life page numbers

>>12102822
Manchildren read John grisham and James Paterson and don't care if they have huge chunks of text missing from their shoddy OCR to Epub hack job. Even ebooks that you pay for are of astonishingly bad quality and rest assured, at the very least you'll find paragraphs and worst of all dialogues often merged. PDF is consistent. For people who actually need a copy of the real thing.

>>12102822
true that man

Has anyone tried reading manga on Kindle Paperwhite or other e-readers? How does it handle it?

>>12103161
>m-my plain text format is better because who needs graphs or foot notes!

>>12103181
You have to pinch the screen to zoom into panels, it's probably a shitty experience. I wouldn't try it.

>>12102822
Fucking kek

>>12102730
>Sony Digital Paper
Fucking hell that costs a lot

>>12103302
Pays for itself in no time as opposed to a kindle which is a waste of $80.

>>12103302
Get a job poorfag

I use B&N Nook Glowlight 3 with Calibre reader to read my libgen downloads. It feels good, man.

I do all of my digital reading on my remarkable these days, because I can take notes directly on it. The downside being that the battery life is kind of meh and the tips wear out after a week or so of heavy use.

>one grand on amazon
>3.5 stars rating
seems like it's a shit device.

>>12102747
im not very strong so something like The Counte of Montecristo strains my forearms after about 30 minutes of reading.

i also usually ask for no ice when i go out to eat because a glass drink with ice and liquid is too heavy for comfort imo

>>12102631
Generic Kindle basic... You can also get the refurbished as i did. 6 years, still works great.

Get this. The perfect size, let's you read, fap, listen to Spotify and watch movies.

>>12104174
I only want 1 of those features

>>12104099
FUCK OFF, DIE. BE MORE DIRECT YOU VIRGIN SHILL. I wish death upon you and your shit thoughts. I hate you.

>>12104174
Are you dense? One of the main reasons to get an ereader is for the screen and its positive effects on your eyes.

>One of the main reasons to get an ereader is for the screen and its positive effects on your eyes.
Jesus imagine actually buying into "e-ink is good for the eyes" meme. You're every corporations favourite goy.

>>12102724
Screen fatigue is an actual thing, moron.

>>12104854
>Are you dense? One of the main reasons to get an ereader is for the screen and its positive effects on your eyes.
I have an ereader. And still I do most of my reading on the Mi Pad. If you have eye problems, I suggest you go visit a doctor. Ereader is just plqcebo, it won't help you.

>>12104876
My bad, I meant it's less of a strain for your eyes, though it still fucks them up the same as with a book.

>12104953
You'd think people on /lit/ would be smarter, huh.

>>12104953
It's not eye problems but the light from screen is so bright that it's hard to sleep if u use it late in the evening.
Atleast dimm the blue light shit tons when u read few hours before sleep..

>>12105143
Again, go see a doctor or a psychiatrist is these problems persist.

>inferior screen
It shows text, what the fuck else do you need for reading?
>inferior battery life

>>12105265
>It shows text, what the fuck else do you need for reading?
The reading experience sucks on tablets, stop justifying using your mom's ipad for all your readings.

>>12104174
>watching movies on a tablet

Currently have a 7" Kindle Oasis and even though I thought my Kobo Glo was a piece of shit, I still want to try a Kobo again because I liked the Pocket integration.

Also would love to play text adventures like Zork on my Kindle but don't want to bugger with jailbreaking it.

I read a bunch of Attack on Titan on my old Paperwhite and it was fine. Use Kindle Comic Converter, it splits jpg images into four zoomed quadrants.

>>12105432
Unless you’re able to see the film in a proper theater you’re not getting a proper experience. A tablet is just as anti-cinema as an 80 inch television.

That doesn't sound fine.

>>12105479
Most people don't care about the "cinema experience", they just want to see the film.
