I can only recommended you the Pocketbook e-readers.

Fully customizable interface, no mandatory cloud account, accepts all formats (including acsm) and no adds on your homescreen.

I can show you the new Verse pro and older Touch HD3 if you want.

I've been trying to build my energy levels back up to even contemplate starting a new comic project.

So I've been doodling on my e-ink book again and it's really enjoyable. There's something fun about very limited options and functionality. Most of the time I'm drawing and shading on a single layer. So mistakes are inevitable and part of the process.

Always inspired by @chrislewislee work with their e-ink drawings.

Universal #EInk Solutions, which aims to provide a consistent API for driving #epaper displays 🖥️

As someone who cannot concentrate for long periods on bright screens and the owner of an e-ink monitor as well as an e-reader, this is something I'm looking forward too as it'll increase hackability and enable the development of more #OpenHardware devices!

(On a related note, I also learnt during the course of the meeting that #Modos is also an NLnet-funded project)

@norberteder Ich liebe mein BOOX Onyx #NoteAir (das 1er) und kann die Produktreihen von denen stark empfehlen.

Das Air - wie auch andere - sind nicht nur Reader sondern du kannst damit auch mit EMR-Stiften schreiben. Mein Hauptzweck sind händische Anmerkungen in PDF-Dateien.

Standard Android, also kannst du alle Android-Apps normal nutzen inkl. Syncthing + RSS-Aggregatoren zum "Zeitunglesen".

Die haben aber auch read-only Reader im Angebot - kenn ich allerdings nicht.

Für alles mit #eInk empfehle ich die Videos von #MyDeepGuide.

My ancient 2013-era #Kindle Paperwhite keeps on deleting sideloaded ebooks, which means that I should probably shop for a new reading tablet.

So, what small-sized #Android #eink tablet can people recommend which also runs the Kindle app without any problems?

(These days, I try to avoid the Kindle store as much as I can, but I am loath to give up my vast library of Kindle ebooks entirely. Although I fortunately still have copies of most the files back when it was still possible to crack the #DRM .)

Last week I got a Supernote Manta tablet. It's an e-ink tablet designed for notetaking as a primary focus. It's an amazing device that has revolutionized my note taking and organizing.

It has a built in hand writing recognition capability that works even when offline.

It has the capability to link between and within notes making it really easy to interlink all kinds of things for ease of use and organizational skills.

Because it's a tablet, it also has the ability to copy, cut, and paste just like you might do on your computer. I've found this handy for reorganizing sermon notes and reordering my translation work without having to rewrite everything.

This device is simply amazing!

My #cycling statistics dashboard on a#raspberrypi is automatically updating again! By using #Strava 's #Python package stravalib my code is now quite a bit simpler. It also works on different @pimoroni #eink display sizes. Can't wait to try it on the new Inky Impressions 13.3 inch version.
