Also, do any have both cool+warm backlight options?
I have an old Kindle Paperwhite im getting back into using, but open to considering upgraded options
- load epubs/format via usb or bluetooth (not interested in the public library/borrowing thing)
- warm/cool lighting modes is nice
- moddable is cool but not even needing to mod to make interesting customizations/tweaks is better
I have a boox palma 2. For me the killer feature is the size. It being phone sized, I take it more places and read more often with it than other ebook readers I’ve had.
I’ve also had a few Kobo devices, and loved them all, but for me a phone sized ereader has turned out to be the sweet spot. Since you mentioned it, it does have warm/cool backlight controls.
Kobo and Boox both place no restrictions on sideloading of books FWIW.
Check out this new wee little reader from Boox: https://shop.boox.com/products/picco
I think the idea of mounting it to the back of your phone is interesting, but I’m not totally sold on the idea. I’m amused by it, but not quite sold. I definitely wouldn’t want it as my every day reader, and I feel like someone who would read while standing in line… would be enough of a reader to want an every day reader.
Anywhats, what I really wish for is a Boox phone. The Palma 2 pro is close, but I still actually need my phone number for professional purposes.
