we must accelerate the movement towards FOSS software as well as CC content that can be republished infinitely … the profiteers know that post-scarcity is a threat to their power
Hey comrade, I think your image broke. Maybe try posting again?
oh thanks for the heads up, reuploaded
Right now I’m using an old rooted (and beat to hell) nook simple touch for reading a lot of theory. I’m hoping to upgrade to a Kobo one day once I can talk myself into spending the money.
I’m keeping an eye on this, might end up being a decent option once it matures a bit https://www.pine64.org/pinenote/
I’ve always been a fan of the things pine is doing, my biggest want in an e-reader is battery longevity. If I can get a week or more in of pretty consistent reading I’d be really happy. The pine note definitely has a faster processor, which makes me think it wouldn’t last quite as long.
But of course the openness of it would be a huge huge plus regardless.
Yeah for sure, I think battery life is really the key aspect of an ereader as well. From what I’ve seen the screen is what tends to eat up the battery the most, a faster CPU doesn’t necessarily mean a lot of battery drain since it would generally just be idling anyways. And yeah, I’m a big fan of open hardware. Would be amazing if a viable ecosystem develops around that going forward.
