Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don’t last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I’m interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.
recommendations?
@[email protected] I got one and it broke (in a hotel so idk if it was the cleaning lady or what). the cost of repair though was close to buying a new one, so (stubbornly) I did. I’ve been trying to be super careful, but I’m not buying a 3rd device from the same company.
Look at their subreddit, there are tons of horror stories.
Didn’t understood, someone broke your device and it was expensive to fix so you won’t buy that brand again? Even though if someone broke it what broke was possibly the screen which is the most expensive part on an e-reader.
My past 4 e-readers have been Kobo (I had another brand before but it was shit), the first one I had for years and forgot in an airplane, the second one I broke the screen and it was too expensive to replace, the third one I gave to a friend after having it for a few years and the fourth one I’ve had for a few months, all of them were working perfectly until the end, i.e none of them had any hardware failure. So they’re a good hardware brand, I don’t think judging them because their screen replacement is expensive (when the screen doesn’t break on it’s own) is fair.
@[email protected] I wasn’t talking about kobo.
People with issues go online to talk about it. Every online forum for a device is going to have this.
