I hate to recommend Boox,but I have an Onyx Book Poke 3 color, and it's basically an Android tablet that just pretends to be an e-reader. Any format, any audio, any webpage... Comics too. Had it for years, never let me down. Not as good of battery life as the Kindle, but with Calibre on my laptop and the Boox, I don't ever pick up the Kindle anyways. Instinctively, I wanna crap on Boox as I don't like some of their business practices, but the Poke is actually my go to e-reader, so...
As an alternative, I know that there are some e-ink e-readers in a phone sized form factor from a few companies, such as Hisense. Can't say too much about them as I don't have one, but half the time I read on my phone because it's small enough to come with me everywhere. Just a thought.
Yeah Boox seems nice but I won't support a comany that violates open source software licenses.
Agreed, sadly. I wish there was a good, inexpensive, color e-ink e-reader running Android that I could have gotten at the time.
