Im still in tablet mode but will drift into a eink reader (probably KOBO - is there any other choice)
Ive used Kindle and it provides an acceptable experience AT A PRICE - loss of $$$ and freedom
So I dont want to be imprisoned by the "ecomould" anymore
Kobo does similar control freak stuff but at least your can dl your own Epubs and sideload into Kobo.
Anyway you guys know all this shouty stuff already
So I had a Sony PRS350 some 10 years ago (it was the dogs plums back then) and amazingly sold it on EB still working fine but dated - night reading not good
So I want to use my Lenovo tablet to try out what the market offers today. Im a huge fan of Calibre - tremendous contribution to support book reading but a PC screen is not for a long read as we know
The Tablet is ok with Kindle but battery life will let you down, whereas an Eink reader may last a month and is very portable and easy read in daylight.
So I looked for a reader that would suit Calibre but Calibre Companion wont connect to my pc wifi. I have to go usb and Calibre will send books to my main memory - fine - but messy
Then I tried Google store for a ebook app and wasted a lot of time with real rubbish - full of aggressive adverts and wouldnt access my memory (google play books and Ereader) After a tedious day down dead ends i eventually found FBReader and at first sight it seems ok
So guys any comments, suggestions pls so i can get up to speed
Any links on sourcing Epub goodies?
What really gets my goat is that you pay for a Kindle book, but unlike print, you dont own it (only a single user license to use) and cant sell it on or even share it legally on your device.
Yet at the same time the kindle book is a similar price to a print copy and even more egregious, Kindle monopolises most of the out-of-copyright popular stuff as well. How did they get away with that?
sorry for the bile upchuck
