or get a used one for 1/10 of the price

They are too expensive

"Pocketbook" served me well for 3 years now.

>>15936540
considering how they have saved me tens of thousands of rupees by not having to p*y for books, I would say its a decent investment

>>15936540
Get a Kobo Clara then.
Not waterproof but who cares.

link?

>>15936563
The regular ones are fine. I would rather buy a cheaper version and buy some ebooks.

I bought Kobo H2O about 5 years ago and still works very well. Waterproof, sd card slot, 260dpi screen (text looks almost like on paper), fully featured software (bookmarks, notes, reading stats, good-enough text customization), can read basically any format, software is still maintained and have regular updates.
It was quite expensive when I bought it, but man, totally worth it.

>buy some ebooks
wat

>>15936652
i'm pretty sure that Anon meant "buy".

>>15936659
No, anon. Writers have to eat and pay bills.

>>15936661
>Writers have to eat and pay bills.

>Not reading exclusively from authors who are already dead.

>>15936672
Editors, translators, proofreaders and everyone associated with it. They also don't do photosynthesis.

>>15936661
>reading from people that's still alive

>>15936678
>Editors, translators, proofreaders

I mean you don't need to re-translate books every month, or release a new edition every half a year. Just give me the book written by the author, or translate it into english.

>>15936694
I won't bother. Unironically. Sorry.

>I won't bother. Unironically. Sorry.

I can smell the reddit in this comment. But I'm being serious, books are free. Fuck people who profiteer off of long dead authors.

>>15936725
Dunno, anon. I have better things to do than lecturing an uneducated anon. You can keep your barbarian customs and I'm completely happy with it.

>Dunno, anon. I have better things to do than lecturing an uneducated anon.

Hahaha. So you can retreat and still pretend to have "won". Reddit debating tactics.

>>15936760
I just don't care, anon. Debate culture is retarded. Internet debate is even more retarded. Nothing of value is created in a forum thread.

plenty of threads on this in the archive, but i just got the oasis and having the buttons is definitely worth it desu. I upgraded from an old ass kindle fire and the weight difference was shocking

>>15936771
>I just don't care

Is that why you're still responding?

>>15936784
I don't care about stressing too much over a point. I'm responding because I'm also looking at some other stuff on making a web page.

>>15936783
What are the buttons for? Turning pages?

>>15936798
yes, you can have page forward or backward on either button so you can hold it left or right handed and landscape mode

>>15936212
I love my kobo, no complaints about it honestly and it wasnt that expensive

Is it still impossible to comfortably read a pdf file on a ereader?

>>15936835
I dunno but I think the general rule of thumb is to avoid pdfs on ereaders.
I don't see why you would need to read PDF though, since most books are already uploaded in epub/mobi format.

>>15936843
most lit books probably but what I would really like to read are academic books and those ones tend to not be in epub format

>>15936853
Cheaper to just buy an iPad, really.

>>15936864
I want to be able to read them at night, so I would need e-ink, that's the only thing I care for with ereaders
hoping someday there will be cheap 8" or 10" ereaders

Have had a kindle paper light I would have bought a Kobo Clara HD if I knew anything about eReaders

Just got a Boox Max 3 coming friday

>>15936694
Exactly, thank gods for project gutenberg

>>15936725
Exactly, I shouldn't have to pay any person who was alive in the 20th century, much less the 21st century for reading The Devil's Elixirs.

Thanks again for Project Gutenber,michael

>800$
why tho

>>15937178
>giant screen
>lots of format compatibility
>easily read pdfs on it, not somthing that can be done on a 6 inch ereader.
>note taking
>android apps.
>can be used as a text editor
>easy note taking with pen

Do you recommend a 10 inch e ink reader or a 10 inch tablet? I like the kindle's screen but I'd also like to read pdfs that cannot be converted. My eyes are shit and sensitive so a tablet is not ideal but so is the ereader's price.

>>15937353
It doesn't break when it falls and you can read outdoors. Other than that get a tablet. I would go for a tablet considering the price of 10' ereaders.
