Also it allows me to use an external keyboard and make notes in a separate text file - both of these things are not possible with the kindle.
My two favorite options atm are http://www.energysistem.com/en/produ...gy_ereader_pro and ImcoV6L @ http://www.imcosys.com/e-reader-1.html (both of these have an sd card slot) or rooting a nook simple touch (see above) but that option seems more complicated and doesn't have a backlight to read in the dark (the option would be an external light in the protection case as you mentioned) and the display is worse.
Is there anything I can do more (any advantages in general) with a rooted android device compared to an open Android like on the Energy Sistem (equal to the Iccarus Illimuna and the Boyue T62) |
I have a rooted Nook STR. I am using it to write this post. It is the cheapest open android e-reader solution. I use it to write on, browse on and read pdf natively. I run dropbox on it too. I also have the A2 refresh mode installed on it. It is an excellent peice of hardware and the software is of course the most flexible for an e-reader. Recommended.
