Hello, I am looking for a 7 or 8 inch e reader which supports KOreader. I dont have to big expectations, it should just have a Touchscreen and preferably wifi so I can wirelessly transfer books to it. I currently use an old kobo aura, and ereaders based on Linux are pretty interesting to me, but i also dont really care if the device runs Android. Also, I would like to stay und er my budget if 250€
It’s a little smaller, but I have been using an InkPalm 5. I LOVE it. If you want the full experience, there is some set up to take care of. Removing some of the built-in apps and side-loading an alt store, but once you get it set up, it is WELL worth the $90 I paid for it.
Hey, i don’t mean to hijack the thread but is there a budget ereader i can get for as cheap as possible? Don’t need touchscreen or backlight, wifi not necessary but would be night, ability to turn pages definitely a plus.
TIL KOReader.
I think staying with Kobo is a solid idea but it depends on if you’ve liked your device or not.
I like my 5 year old Kobo Libra H2O - it looks like the new color Kobo Libra is a pretty big upgrade to that that looks like it’s in your budget.
KOReader supports a decent number of devices.
It might be how I read books on my android if the library interface wasn’t awful.
I’m a professional android dev so I popped over to their open source project to see if there was any UI changes I could make to help out the cause.
… The whole fucking project is lua.
So I can’t help them: they appear irredeemable tbh.
They wanted to make one UI for all platforms. That will always cause issues.
It’s the best of a bunch of bad options for cross-device reading unfortunately.
I’m hopeful for a native app using Kavita, the main dev has said he might make one when the server is stable.
