Hello everyone!
I am looking to buy an e-reader but I am averse to giving my money to Amazon. Not that it is completely off the table but I want to explore what options exist for me other than the well-known Kindle e-readers.
What I am looking for:
Must have:- Not too expensive, max $130 - this is the main criteria because I am on a budget. However, I can look for a refurbished more expensive model.
- E-paper display
- Front light
- Good enough storage space - I want to read manga and comics, which needs more storage space than regular e-books
- Sturdy - I am sometimes clumsy
- Not tied to a platform, usable without some account (eg. prefer Calibre & e-books without DRM)
Good to have:
- Being able to share quotes, screenshots would be nice
- It would be great if it displayed book covers but its not all so important
- Good battery life
- Syncing to open source cloud storage (eg. Nextcloud)
Regarding availability of devices it's also worth noting that I am in India.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
