I want to download books and read them on the go. First, where can I get books? I know about libgen, but I rarely find anything I want. Second, where can I read them on the go. I like the concept of e-ink. It doesn’t strain the eyes as much. Are there good cheap tablets I can load my books onto?
Anna’s Archive and an e-reader
What kind of e-Reader. I only know about kindle, but I imagine it is not easy to get my on downloaded books on there. Also, the new ones are a bit to expensive for my price range.
I use a 2011 second hand kindle. I convert the books with calibre to awz3 format and copy them over USB to the kindle. No amazon account needed.
You simply cannot go wrong with the new Kobo Clara BW. Cheap, fast, repairable. It’s my favourite object.
I personally use an InkPalm 5 Plus but you can use a Lemon Read S61P also.
I use my Kobo with Calibre, an open-source piece of software to manage your library. Only had to log in once to the official Kobo account (when I first bought it).
Edit : not as awesome as the long-discontinued Sony e-reader, but I’m perfectly happy with it.
I have Kindle, simply download the file and share to Kindle. Bluefire reader can handle most formats, but for PDF, especially magazines, I use Sidebooks, displays them great on my iPad in landscape.
Edit: Try Mobilism for mags and books
