Calibre will help convert mobi to epub or the reverse. k2pdfopt can help convert newer pdfs to older standards. Ghostscript can too, but its transparency-handling is incompatible with the Mac and Kindle.
I'm not sure what would support your password options. I also have a ton of trouble with touchscreens, and use a Kindle Dx. It's good for most articles, if I use either k2pdfopt or Ghostscript, depending. It's good for scanned pdfs if I run them through k2pdfopt. It really falls short with some graphically-demanding pdf-born-pdfs either way. Because of that, and because of the library management headaches of converting every pdf to multiple formats, I am wondering if another reader might be better. |

I know that people with your request tend to not like this answer, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: if one of your primary uses is to read scientific PDFs, and another is to read comics, I strongly, strongly suggest getting a tablet.
If you insist on e-ink, you're gonna need a much bigger budget than you would need with a tablet. None of the other 'distractions' or 'clutter' on a tablet matter. Turn off whatever you don't want to use. Delete apps you don't want, or move them to a different screen. Disconnect from wifi. You control the device, it doesn't control you. |

@warbrd: Thank you for the suggestion. To me the Inkpad X is still the better choice. Both have a 10.3” screen but with the Remarkable I have to deal with a cloud and use a pen (two hands) to flip pages.
@MarjaE: Though I'm not going to buy a Kindle, I appreciate all the additional information. I knew about Calibre and Ghostscript but not about k2pdfopt. So thank you for mentioning it. @meeera: Thank you. I see your point but I already have a tablet and I don't like using it for reading. To me the Inkpad X appears to be a better option. Mainly because of its screen and battery life. I think it can handle papers good enough and comics are at the bottom of the list; I haven't read one in ages. |
