Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.
Boox is the best, I've got to read using the app I want (moon reader), got to install whatever news apps I want
How is screen clarity? Which model did you get? Did you use a kindle prior for comparison?
There's only a few screen manufacturers so you probably can find which devices has the same exact screen. It's had more resolution than my aging eyes can notice.
I've used a Barnes and Noble thing before, and my boox is much faster - obviously since it's 2 newer generations. I don't buy anything from Amazon. It's more convenience than anything, they're a rip off in Australia.
