I say Android bcoz I know it will do all I need, but it doesn't have to be.
My interests are in simple functionality, not features.
SOME DETAIL:
I broke my Kobo Glo HD some time ago (which I loved as solely a reader), and now have come to a time that I want to replace it.
For some time I've also been planning to get some kind of typewriter for solely writing and the Alphasmart Neo 2 has been top contender (
have a read here as to what and why, if you're not familiar).
Then I just discovered that there were new E-Ink tablets running android, then on googling that a bunch of older ereaders also ran Android, and could be hacked, cowabunga!
Having ONE device on which I could:
- Write on a txt editor (don't care about formatting beyond font/size) with external keyboard (with usb, bluetooth or whatever works).
- Review said work (and maybe do simple edits).
- Read ebooks.
- (Added extra) read web content from getpocket.com (which formats pages for text readability).
Would be amaze-balls!
Emphasis on simple, cheap and reliable, over features.
If all this is possible without Android I'm open to it (some japanese e-ink units have integrated keyboards, run Palm OS, and even that could work, but they're pricey), but given what I've seen out there Android seems the cheapest and simplest option.
Thank you in advance for any advice, recommendations, experience you could share
