Nice blog on #repurposing an old e-reader (Nook). #eink

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/02/turn-an-old-ereader-into-an-information-screen-nook-str/

I am looking for an #ebook #eink reader device.

Requirements:
- #foss operating system and apps
- supported (ideally, mainline) #linux kernel
- receiving updates

Any suggestion?

I've just invested in a Boox Tab Ultra, which is an Android based eink tablet to compliment my Kindle Oasis. Great for digital magazines, larger text books, and other content. Can even watch YouTube!

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.

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' 😕
