Tranny esque post

>>23256589
I too am a Kobochad. I also don’t use the thing and just end up reading physical

>>23256591
ok nooknigger, nooker if you will

>>23256585
this was probably the best $30 I spent in my life. I've had it for nearly 10 years and use it every day.

>he doesn't use an android e-reader
literally why? you can use any reading app plus a ton of other apps.

OP Here
forgot to say but i prefer the nook because it's the perfect size for dilating my neo-vagina

>>23256602
Not a nook-retard, but because it's for reading, not for playing Fortnite. Boox and other android-based e-reader users are the lowest of the low, and I hold no respect for them.

>>23256585
Holy bezels. Imagine not just going with the one and only brand and product in this space that should exist.

>>23256585
I mostly use the Kobo Libra H2O. I like the functionality of the device, but the ergonomics are terrible. I have yet to find a single e-reader that's comfortable to hold in one hand for an extended period of time. The Kindle Oasis looked like it would be comfortable to use, but I refuse to get locked into amazon's ecosystem.

Btw, does Nook still do that thing where only a portion of the storage could be used for sideloaded content?

You mean the one product that doesn't support the most popular ebook format by far? >>23256713
>Boox and other android-based e-reader users are the lowest of the low
They're perfect for taking handwritten notes and reading long web articles. I'm not going to read a 10,000 word New Yorker article on my fucking laptop.

>>23256814
you mean epub which is 100% supported by it?

>>23256713
>NOO, I can't be tempted by using other apps because I have no disciple
disgusting

Meebook chads rise up.

>>23256858
I don't know if there's been a recent update in file compatibility, but when I owned a kindle every method of getting an EPUB file on the device involved converting the file into a compatible format, which often fucked up the formatting of the text.

>>23256887
now it's about the only format it does support :-/

>>23256585
I have a white k*ndle (I pirate all my books thougheveralbeit)
It's alright but some "pixels" have started to die

>>23256789
>but the ergonomics are terrible
It took me a while to realize the ergonomics for books are fucking terrible too. Having to hold something in front of you on the bed for a long time is really annoying.

At least with e-readers you can use some kind of tripod that bends in the middle

>buy e-reader
>realize I'd rather have books in a physical library for immediate access and to show off what I've read (not to others but to myself)
>never use e-reader
welp

>>23256924
>(not to others but to myself)
Thought you were sly, huh? Vanity-obsessed loser alert.

>>23256936
ah yes because a lot of people enter my house
>inb4 y-you take pics and share them online!!!
I have zero social media accounts and you wouldn't catch me dead on Middit (midwit plus reddit, clever innit)

>>23256924
rich guy alert, e-readers are incredible to read public domain stuff or just pirating, because books have become damn expensive

>>23256952
I'm a night shift hotel receptionist
fat fuck alert, maybe spend less on food

>>23256958
yeah lemme just buy that 30 dollar shit I won't even like
bet if you played vidya you'd support denuvo

>>23256789
you must be limp wristed and feeble, because i myself have no issue holding the libra in one hand.
try holding it in portrait, it's more comfortable, weakling.

>>23257025
It's not the weight, it's the shape. If I hold it like pic related, it digs into my palm. If I hold it further up, the featureless back makes a good grip difficult, and it feels like it's going to slip out of my hand the second I stop being consciously aware that I'm holding it.

It's just first world bitching on my part, but I hate the ubiquity of this form factor. A more asymmetrical design with like a handle or protruding grip on the side with the buttons would be way more comfortable, but would probably look ugly and not sell well in photos.

>>23257078
hold it in portrait you fucking mong
do you need everything explained to you?
should i also show you how to wipe an arse whilst i'm here?

>>23256924
>show off what I've read
No one cares

>>23257197
>chud
>indecent and dirty
what a surprise

>>23257197
How about Rakuten hire competent industrial designers instead. E-readers could be better as a whole, but the relatively small size of the market along with amazon's near monopoly on it stunted r&d. My 9-year-old kindle voyage isn't really any worse than the mid-range newest kindle.

>>23257078
you're supposed to hold it at an angle so the bottom corner rests in your palm, with your thumb on the edge.

Kindle 11th gen bros where u at? We be reading in the dark and shit.

>>23257390
>sepia maxed all the way

Yup, its reader time.

>>23256585
I just bought the nook 4e. Barnes and noble is giving a discount as long as you have your old device serial number. I bought my first nook in 2011 and still use it.

The screen is supposed to be worse but the quality of life updates and just having a new device seemed like a good idea. Paid 70 bucks.

is the boox page any good? got a kobo libra 2 for my gf and its nice, but the onboard storage isn't that great if you want to read a lot of manga.

>>23256602
what apps could you possibly use on a fucking e-ink display? isn't reading more than enough for you? you need more?

kobo clara hd with koreader is peak e-reader experience, nothing comes close

>>23257564
I have one and am happy with it. I have not used other ereaders so I can't compare the battery life. Right now I'm trying to find the best translation app that also includes reading words aloud. I have a sexy British lady that can read to me thanks to it's built in speaker. For manga I use Mihon which allows you to read online or download to your device.

Using dark mode whilest in the dark. Trully, we live in the tecno wonder land.

>>23256960
I play vidya, spent lot to build a good PC, and pirate every single game (except the few games that deserve money like Factorio and Underrail)

>>23257291
>is on board about reading
>cant read

>>23256585
yo wassup

>>23257197
very nice
now let's see that cock

>>23256947
it would be clevererer if you didn't have to explain it

>>23258077
And blasphemous 1 and 2

>>23258606
hi midwit! not everyone is trying to be clever 24/7! thank you for listening
