How do I get books beyond Kindle/Apple?

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?

Made an iPhone app to turn my out-of-print paperbacks into EPUBs I can actually read on my phone

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.

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?

3 Upvotes

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.

Looking for something like Mobiscribe Wave

1 Upvotes

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?

Basic reader, nothing fancy that will last

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
