Looking to get a used #ereader. Found a nice table of file format support on good old #wikipedia

Unsurprisingly, amazon is the only company to support their proprietary .azw format and not the otherwise open-standard .epub 🤡
More surprisingly, #eink is a brand name of the E Ink corp. who pretty much have a monopoly on 'electrophoretic display technologies' 😕

There are a lot of competitors in this field for note taking and consumption. Been watching for a long time.
Eink have just launched a new panel which we will see from many OEMs soon but didn't want to wait for the next best thing.
