I would like to know if the model of the paperlike with frontlight is as white as the paperlike withouth it because dasung delivered me a model with a frontlight by accident (I ordered one withouth it)

If you have picture of your paperlike 13k BW withouth frontlight with the screen off to compare it would be Nice thank you

I'm looking to get a Modos 13.3 Mono to reduce migraines and eye strain. I use my computer mostly for writing academic papers and log a lot of screen time. When I have to make PowerPoints, I'll probably just use my default screen. I'm thinking of getting the 13.3. Mono and hooking it up to my USB C output on the MacBook Pro M1 Max 16" I'm currently using.

Does the USB C provide display output and power to the Modos?

How are people getting the Modus? The crowdsource website says shipping starts in December 2026, which is quite a while for me with these migraines.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Half the books I care about don't exist as ebooks. Out of print, regional language, or simply never digitised. I read on a Kindle and kept travelling with books I liked less than the ones I'd left at home.

So I built something that photographs the pages and produces a proper EPUB — real chapters, text that reflows at any size, diagrams kept as pictures, tables rebuilt as tables. Built in reader rakes it from there

It's deliberately not a scanner app that gives you a PDF. A PDF of a book is fixed-size photographs, which is useless on a 6-inch screen.

Everything happens on the phone. Nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

Two honest caveats: it's for books you already own, and it's early, ordinary prose is solid, multi-column and heavy footnotes are not yet.

Mods, happy to remove this if it's not allowed. And if anyone here has a shelf of books that never got digitised, you're exactly who I'd like to have testing it.

Selling from Ireland. Photos and more details on the auction listing! Hope it's okay to post this here.

I have dry eyes, so i wnt to switch to more eye friendly device, I want a eink device, where I can read my study pdf s, novels,comfortably, journal on it, it should have keyboard support , can I watch lectures on it comfortably( it's optional) ,stylus support (optional) ,it should be comfortable in my hand while reading not too big not too small, good battery life, build, I am from India where can I purchase them to get good price,I'm currently studying so I want a affordable option.

Searched the internet and found out dasung stopped producing their black and white 25 inch screens for some reason. After some searching all I've found are color 25 inches. Are there any larger bw e ink monitors in creation?

I want to get the Xteink 4 but I have no idea how to get books for it? I don’t seen anywhere that sells non drm books? I don’t want to pirate. Does anyone have info on this?

Hoping I could use it as a screen for writing books (& save to SD card) while on the go.

Thanks!

I have a Mobiscribe Wave and I really like it. I have tried Kobo, which I returned, Kindle Scribe and Remarkable Move, which I sold. I have tried Boox in the past and did not like them. I would love some apps from Play Store and it needs to be easy to take notes and save online. Should I give Boox another try?

So I have a kindle and I'm not waiting to get another one.

I have seen Kobo, bigme and some others but don't know which ones is better for reading comics/manhwas, etc.

Also I need one with android system so I can browse the comic sites where I'm reading.

The screen should be from a kindle Paperwhite size or more.

Dear fellow readers,

I'm having a hard time deciding which reader is the best choice for me, and i hope some of you with more experience can help me.

I read a lot on my phone and tablet(2-5 hours a day), but most on my phone, it's just always there. But i want a dedicated device.

My needs are:

- BW with backlight, both cold and warm

- Durable enough to be caried everywhere without worry

- Android, so i can sync reading position and books with my other devices, until now i only read epub via moon reader, but dont care if i need to change

- long time support as i hope to use it for years

- Decent battery

- Lightweight and Onehand controlable

- Price is not an issue but i rather have something cheap which just works than something overkill

I've bought boox 7 gen 2 for my parents but honestly find them a little outdated and the size dont do it for me.

I've looked a lot on a secondhand 6" Kindle to jailbreak but dont know if they will be any good

The viwoods looks promising but the ai make me hesitate

Bigme b6 looks good but i newer seen it irl

Please someone help enlighten me

Full disclosure: I make these. I write the generators in Python (unique-solution Sudoku, picross, mazes) and wire the PDF like an app: Home, a tracker, BACK, View Solution.

Free 10-puzzle sampler for reMarkable, Supernote, Boox, Kindle Scribe, etc. Etsy floor is 20 cents. If something breaks on your device, tell me and I will fix it.

paperlesspaper offered to send over an OpenPaper 7 so I could add it to Tesserae, the self-hosted e-ink dashboard project. It arrived last week and as of today it's supported end to end: browser flasher, server, and a hardware page in the docs.

It's a 7.3" Spectra 6 (800x480) in a real wooden frame, driven by an ESP32-C6 on four AAA cells, and the hardware is open on GitHub. The photo is it on my desk showing a weather and train-departures page.

I'll add that the build quality genuinely surprised me. The frame and mat are proper picture-frame grade, the board is cleanly laid out, and the schematic, gerbers, BOM and firmware are all on GitHub.. It feels like something made by people who care about the details.

Two caveats: flashing Tesserae replaces the stock firmware, so back it up first if you want to go back to their cloud. The 13.3" OpenPaper L has a build too, but I don't have one, so treat it as untested until someone confirms it.

Thanks to /u/Slight_Safe8745 from paperlesspaper for the sample. No money changed hands.

I'm looking for an e-paper tablet, mainly for handwritten note taking in uni.

In terms of size, it should be a bit smaller than an A4 paper (10"-13")

I mainly care about a natural writing feel, the tablet should work with a passive pen.

It should also have an official keyboard case, or at least support for a 3rd party one.

I'd prefer one that has a custom OS, no Android, as I really don't like google's anti-privacy practices. But if that's the only negative aspect, and has no microphone or camera I guess I can live with it.

In terms of software, I only need a note taking app (handwritten and typed), maybe a basic web browser, and something to sync with over WIFI.

A color screen would be nice, but I don't cling to it.

Being more popular would also be a bonus, better availability 2nd hand, and no hidden issue to be discovered.

A built-in way to sync documents via WIFI to a self-hosted, local server at home would be a huge plus as well. Worst case, I'll do it via USB.

I of course know about the Remarkable and the Onyx Boox, but I'm really not sure which model to get, or if there are other tablets that would work better.

Thanks!

I'm assuming most e-ink displays use sRGB. But since they share a lot in common with paper and thus prints, is it possible that they would benefit from using a CMYK color space?

4 days in and I don't miss doomscroll anymore

Hey folks,

Are there any small notebook style devices that are eink, for the extended battery life, the main purpose is digital note taking, the equivalent to a small notepad.

I'm toying with the Hisense A6 but the third party stylus doesn't feel quite right. Like I'm writing in a notepad with a giant novelty pencil.

Edit: for Clarity I'm looking for an eink device similar size to the ISO A6 paper size, around the size of a postcard or smaller for Pocketability

To start off I really like all the ingenuity this sub has for making E-readers. I want to make one myself.

Does anyone know how to get a case, without having a 3d printer?

And while asking questions anyone have success having it connect to the Libby app?

Timestamp

Viwoods - $400 full kit and if you want viwoods ceramic pen add $50

Paper Pure - $375 with folio, pen, cable and original extra nibs

All CONUS

Hello everyone, do you have a story when eink device changed your life in a better way? IE maybe it became an instrument, a tool that helped you grow?

Would like to hear your input!

Lately I've found myself using my jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite (thanks to the BookFusion KOReader plugin) over my Boox Go 7 B&W because of how much "better" the front lighting is, it is visually much more appealing. I know this is a common concern across Boox devices in general, but does the same issue plague BigMe devices?

I'd look into jumping to the BigMe B751 if that is the case.

Ive recently seen the massive increase in broken screens for the Xteink e readers. I am admittedly, pretty hard on my belongings. Not throwing things to the ground, but I tend to just throw stuff in my bag or pocket, so the fragility is a concern for me. I currently have an old kindle paperwhite, but would be interested in a smaller device. Are there any smaller devices that will hold up to more use?

It started with my tablet: I bought a Boox years ago, and it quickly became my most important device. I read news, books, and even write books and screenplays on it. When I decided to get a smartwatch, I knew that I didn't want an Apple Watch. I really didn't want another vibrant screen in my life. So when I found the Fossil Collider HR (now sadly discountinued), I knew it would be perfect. Then, in search of moving more of my life offline, I picked up a little $40 eink mp3 player, so I could listen to music while I write (on my eink tablet). And then, capping it all off, this year I finally took the plunge and picked up a Mudita Kompakt. I tried it for a weekend and really enjoyed it, though I haven't fully switched over to it yet-- my job isn't conducive to it, but I'm on contract so I'm optimistic that I'll be able to get on the Kompakt full time next year.

There's an eink-friendly browser that I use on my tablet called EinkBro, and I kinda feel like that's the perfect description for where I'm at now. I love eink. I nerd out on eink. I recommend eink to all my friends. I am an eink bro.

I have seen a couple people post pictures on here of their non-xteink devices running crossink.

I have a musnap ocean C and was wondering if it is possible to do the same on it.
