I'm thinking of getting a new #ereader (epub capable) as my old Kobo is slowly dying... but would like one with physical buttons for turning pages... anyone got any #recommendations ?
@kln is an early Kindle possible? Both that and Nook have real buttons.
@mattbk perhaps?
isn't kindle mobi only? most of my books are epub.
been thinking an android eink reader as well. to install some different apps.
@kln good point, I just got an old kindle and haven't tried everything yet.
@mattbk how long have you had the Kindle if I can ask? they do look nice... even if the idea of "if you are poor we can give you a discounted unit with a metric ton of ads" / "we can just recall your ebook from your device" makes me worried...
another issue (entirely my own) is that I only get DRM free books. yes I'm one of them nuts.
@kln don't worry. I got a used one a month ago so I could read library books that were only available on Kindle. Otherwise I sideload onto the Nook with Calibre.
I can try sideloading epub on the Kindle, haven't tried yet.
@kln using Calibre, it looks like I can sideload as mobi, azw3, pdf, or txt, but I had it convert on the fly and it seemed to work.
I haven't done a lot with different formats though, so I don't know what gets lost during conversion.
@mattbk thanks for sharing :)
@mattbk haven't looked at nook though. hmmmm. thanks. :)
thinking about an inkBOOK Prime HD for the moment. :)
