My Kobo Aura H20 died this morning, after less than a year of owning it, and the abysmal support experience I've received today from Kobo has me loathe to give any more $$ to that company, and I've cancelled the plans that I had to purchase Formas as gifts for folks this coming XMas. So I'm looking for a new e-ink ereader that plays well with Calibre--ie one where I can fully manage the contents, which I couldn't do w/ for example my old Kindle Paperwhite. I've seen some mention in the fora of an Onyx e-ink ereader that may run Android and thus be usable w/ Calibre Companion; does anyone know which specific model that is, and whether in addition to CC, it can also just be managed directly from Calibre via USB? Any other suggestions for eReaders to look at?
