Post Kindle Scribe B/W for PDF and soft web browsing
Is the new B&W Kindle Scribe worth for reading academic articles and long scanned books (2in1 A4 page) with Koreader?
I’m interested in reflow that isn’t available in standard firmware. I’ve yet a 6” Kobo Clara and I’ll continue using it for novel and essays so doesn’t matter the epub vs kwz.

I can also buy a Boox Go 3 or a Viwoods Ai Paper, and I’d have some advantages (for instance Syncthing, Zotero, Joplin, e-mail client) but also complexity of an open system (battery, apps not updated due to Android version support ceasing).

Last is the browser able to surf on Google Books, Jstore, newspaper sites or similar?

Is Koreader stable and easy to use?

The new 2025 B&W Kindle Scribe cannot be jailbroken to install koreader at this time. The 2022 and 2024 models might if you are on an old enough firmware.

Honestly, look at other options. I've Scribe and I love it, but only because I could jailbreak it. Amazon's hardware is top-notch, but its software has become invasive and a pain to use. And it's only getting worse, lately.

Thanks! I’ll look at Boox! It seemed a good deal but openness matters.
