Actually, I just want something that works, on which I could invert screen (white text on black background) and have a decent front-light adjustment.
The Invert screen can be achieved with the patched firmwares on Kobo pretty easily. However, KOReader is the only option to get t on Pockebook devices if I understood well.
I'm not specifically looking for a droppable screen, in 11 years reading almost exclusively on e-readers, I broke only one screen, and that' because the reader moved right under my butt while I was sitting (and the one who says that its my fault and not the reader's one... is fired
).
I am pretty cautious with my devices and am not worried about breaking it.
So yep, short list is:
- Kobo Aura One
- Kobo Forma
- PB Inkpad 3
I'll depend on what second hand option I'll find. On backmarket platforms, I was surprised to see that there are a very few only, and that they are sold within a day usually.
So preferably Kobo, if got a good opportunity, Inkpad 3.
Thanks all for your feedbacks!
