im thinking of getting an ereader, but cant find many foss devices. i dont plan on connecting it to the internet, so i suppose it doesnt matter if its controlled by amazon right? love to hear your thoughts…

Couldn’t you just use an android tablet?

You could, but e-paper screens are infinitely more pleasing for reading than regular screens.

I know, im using one myself. But i would not recommend using tablets for reading, which is what the other person was suggesting.
