Hello, I am looking for a 7 or 8 inch e reader which supports KOreader. I dont have to big expectations, it should just have a Touchscreen and preferably wifi so I can wirelessly transfer books to it. I currently use an old kobo aura, and ereaders based on Linux are pretty interesting to me, but i also dont really care if the device runs Android. Also, I would like to stay und er my budget if 250€
KOReader supports a decent number of devices.
It might be how I read books on my android if the library interface wasn’t awful.
I’m a professional android dev so I popped over to their open source project to see if there was any UI changes I could make to help out the cause.
… The whole fucking project is lua.
So I can’t help them: they appear irredeemable tbh.
They wanted to make one UI for all platforms. That will always cause issues.
The actual reader is better than a lot. I got convinced to try librera in another discussion about readers, and the library is better (with tags and filters instead of just a filesystem), but if you read too fast it chokes and can’t load pages (and this is just text). I get that an ereader might not have amazing specs, but it’s not something I’ve run into with any other app except ones streaming from the actual internet.
But yeah, I have too many books. I need to be able to search and filter to find what I need.
