I need a new reading tablet. I’m not entirely sure but I heard people talking about how a lot of new tablets are becoming difficult to put pirated books onto.
Need suggestions. Cheap too maybe? Please.
I still have an old Kobo h20 laying around not being used since I got the updated version. If you are situated in the eu, we can look into a sale! The h20 works fine to this date and works like a flashdrive
Kobo. Simply upload via calibre or another ebook management software, basically drag n drop. I use a Kobo clara bw. It can be a little slower than I want at times, but still very much gets the job done.
TBH I think an old Kobo or Kindle with some custom firmware can allow you to load books onto them easily. Also, On Ebay you can probaly find an older model for pretty cheap or find one refurb if you want to pay a little bit more.
So will I have to jailbreak it if I buy a modern one? I don’t like buying used…
Kindle yes, Kobo no. Kobo allows u to upload your own files
I have an old pocketbook. Works awesome
I’m waiting on a Kobo Libra Colour right now. I looked at it and Boox. I went with Kobo because I didn’t want an Android tablet. If I was willing to spend more, I would have considered the Pocketbook which runs a custom Linux distro or the Supernote which does run Android but is super repairable and upgradable.
My wife has been rocking a Kobo h2o for about a decade.
You can just mount it as a usb stickI love my little XteInx x4. Hides in my pocket. Great for epubs from my friend Anna.
I don’t really get the point of something that small when I have my phone.
+1 for the x4. I LOVE mine. Especially with the Crosspoint firmware. Great price, pocketable, and easy to put whatever you want on it no matter where you got it.
I recently got a Kobo Clara Colour and I’ve been quite pleased so far. It was trivial to upload all my books from Calibre onto it. Not the cheapest, but the resolution is sharp and you can actually turn off the backlight unlike some others.
