I like reading on e-ink, my kindle just keeled over but want to get out from under the Amazon bs. Anything that won’t have me fucking with a laptop is a bonus.

Looks cool, how do you get books onto it? Other documents? I don’t want to mess with having to plug stuff into a computer or something if I want to read a pdf

It has a browser, so you can download files directly

Edit: It also has wifi and bluetooth so you can send files to it from a phone, for example

These seem like the way to go but they are crazy expensive. I might have to wait for a sale. Thanks for the input!
