Ebook Readers Built Around calibre?

Pizza_Cant_Read · 11-25-2017, 01:46 AM

Are there any any dedicated ebook readers built around the use of calibre and Calibre Companion? The more I use these apps the more I feel like they would be all I need. Probably one of those things that sound so simple until implemented?

Edit: Or maybe an ereader with access to the android App Store than can use Calibre Companion well?

I would like that. Reading, storage and organizing, and editing all built in. Kindles are nice devices but the software is lacking in the things I need. I don't need a way to post reviews on social media and a lot of the bells and whistles they add. I just need to read, organize so I can find the book I want to read next and occasionally fix the more glaring errors the BPHs didn't bother to fix.

Actually, Calibre (previously called LibPRS500) was built around Sony Readers.

If we are talking about hardware devices here, you're best bet would be an Android device where you can install CC and the ereader app of your choice from Google play (or your option as you prefer).

In Spain, you can find Energy eReaders, and you can search for Boyue, I think.

I could probably find some super shady offer on Taobao but it is difficult to be certain of the build quality before purchase so I appreciate everything you guys have to say :-)
