If possible, get your books in epub format, get an eInk Android tablet for less than £100 and enjoy.
Do you have a recommendation on which one to get? The different options seem fairly similar. Biggest concern is reading outdoors.
I have the Clara. It’s smallish but I prefer smaller for an e-reader.
Most eink displays should do just fine outdoors, so you shouldn’t worry about that.
Love my kobo libra h20, would highly recommend. Easy to sideload epubs with calibre.
Most of the books I have on my reader are not available in epub or formats like it, rather as pdf/djvu scans. So I’d add it might be absolutely worth it to pay more for a big screen.
Also the device never ever connects to the internet. Gives you more freedom.
You can easily convert pdf files to epub then do a little light editing to make sure you don’t have weird artifacts like page numbers the book name or author name. I can process a pdf to epub in 20 minutes at most (most are a minute it two) for average novel length, which I understand is a big ask for lots of folks but it’s worth it to me to have the file in a format that I can keep and use on pretty much anything.
you could share your books uploading them to libgen. I mean, they are probably already there but in an annoying PDF format. Not everyone has the knowledge to convert a PDF to an epub with good formatting.
Mind giving a rundown of how you do it? I tried it many, many times and never accomplished much
“Do a light editing” you mean read through a huge book? I have downloaded automatically-converted versions like this and they’re unreadable at times. Also would that work well on complex math formulas?
Edit: might try doing so to upload for others, but looking through the whole book must be long, tedious work, definitely not something I’d do for every book.
