    Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.

      Boox is the best, I’ve got to read using the app I want (moon reader), got to install whatever news apps I want

            So, as I understand it, e-ink screens are all made by the same company and sold to the various ereader companies. As such, they are basically comparable. At least this was the case two years ago when I was looking into it.

          There’s only a few screen manufacturers so you probably can find which devices has the same exact screen. It’s had more resolution than my aging eyes can notice.

          I’ve used a Barnes and Noble thing before, and my boox is much faster - obviously since it’s 2 newer generations. I don’t buy anything from Amazon. It’s more convenience than anything, they’re a rip off in Australia.
