I want to download books and read them on the go. First, where can I get books? I know about libgen, but I rarely find anything I want. Second, where can I read them on the go. I like the concept of e-ink. It doesn’t strain the eyes as much. Are there good cheap tablets I can load my books onto?
What kind of e-Reader. I only know about kindle, but I imagine it is not easy to get my on downloaded books on there. Also, the new ones are a bit to expensive for my price range.
You simply cannot go wrong with the new Kobo Clara BW. Cheap, fast, repairable. It’s my favourite object.
I have Kindle, simply download the file and share to Kindle. Bluefire reader can handle most formats, but for PDF, especially magazines, I use Sidebooks, displays them great on my iPad in landscape.
Edit: Try Mobilism for mags and books
I use my Kobo with Calibre, an open-source piece of software to manage your library. Only had to log in once to the official Kobo account (when I first bought it).
Edit : not as awesome as the long-discontinued Sony e-reader, but I’m perfectly happy with it.
I use a 2011 second hand kindle. I convert the books with calibre to awz3 format and copy them over USB to the kindle. No amazon account needed.
I personally use an InkPalm 5 Plus but you can use a Lemon Read S61P also.
