Are there any e-readers that aren't dogshit, don't mind sideloading, and aren't littered with autismal software decisions?

Mostly kobo.

Depends on your purpose.

If you're reading fiction books top to bottom there are options. PocketBook is somewhat usable in terms of specs and software.



If you're reading tech literature you'd want something that's fast enough to jump to a different page quickly. No ebook reader can really do that.

Get an Android table and ebookdroid

You mean PDF readers?

i love my kobo!

>Tech literature

I run a practice that would require me to jump through a bunch of different pages in resource books, looking for information

Arr

Yeah, Kobo is the option that I saw but I also saw nothing but complaints everywhere. Ideally I'd like something with a keyboard so that I could make edits to the books and place my own little notes; closest I see is ridiculously expensive kobos with pens.



Surely there's something under $100 that can do this?

>Get an android tablet

See, I thought of this, but those are harder on the eyes. I could just use my laptop at that point, unless there's androids with e-ink screens.

I have a Kobo, opened it and changed the SD card for a 128 one (followed a simple tutorial), plugged it to my computer, followed another tutorial to add koreader. I now have a decently fast e-reader with a battery life of about a month or so (didn't measure) on idle that can display epubs, pdfs and cbz natively and store an infinite amount of books and an fairly decent amount of mangas (say 126 gigs / 200 M per volume -> about 600 of them). I'm ironically using it every day for books (had it for a year and a half) . It's sturdy and feels great.

just read the damn book

I would prefer to have physical books anon, I really would. I'm planning on living out of a car, where space is at a premium. An e-reader is infinitely better than a dozen books for my purposes.

>I know, I know, ugh I know

Got any kobo models to rec? I'm willing to go used. I've got no idea what the difference is between them and I don't want to ask r*dditoids what their gay opinion is

Forget about it then. You really want something that's responsive enough and the lag of even the best ebook readers is in the order of significant fraction of a second.

There are eink android tablets from for instance Onyx, that will be significantly more expensive though.

>Surely there's something under $100 that can do this?

A used b/w laser and a few packs of paper.

Lmao

>What's the fastest and most resource efficient way to store and access information in books?

>"Books"

Well, shit.



Thanks anon.
