I became interested when I read that it was a repairable tablet. Then I learned that the Kobo products, while good, run a Linux environment which only allows their reading apps. There's no way to install *ANY* other apps and it's not compatible with Android.Seems like a better solution would be to buy some other brand of repairable, Android-compatible tablet, then install #Readera and other apps.

You can remove DRM from Kindle books. I've done it myself for over a hundred books, which I was then able to port into #ReadEra an #epub reader.
There are lots of websites that will tell you how to do it. This is an example. Good luckhttps://auresnotes.com/how-to-remove-amazon-kindles-drm-latest-update/

@thelinuxcast just been listening to ep 215 "The Everything for Everybody Episode" and got to you talking about #android #EBookReaders. I use #ReadEra, and i think its very good. Its proprietary, but it has no ads*, and is pretty customisable. (And it doesn't have internet permissions.)
*They sometimes do fullscreen popups for the paid version, but they're not obnoxious
I've also used #Librera, which is FOSS, with extreme customisation, but I'm more used to ReadEra.

Reading books with #ReadEra

@skolima WTF? I've been paying for Pocket Premium subscription since 2019, specifically so that Mozilla could have enough money to keep it running. This is a catastrophe and completely undermines what was left of my confidence im #MozillaFoundation.
#Omnivore was closest we ever got to a viable Pocket alternative, and that's got bought out of existence last October. #Wallabag is probably next best.
I wish there was a robust web page epub converter, so I could read in #ReadEra or e-ink device.

Thanks for the suggestions. ReadEra doesn't seem to be available in F-Droid (yet?). But I tested KOReader and Librera Reader and the latter seems like exactly what I'm after. I remember trying KOReader in the past and finding the interface ... unfriendly.

I've mentioned before that ReadEra is my favorite ebook reader app on Android. While the free version is great, it is totally worth paying for the Premium version to support the makers. 📚
The killer Premium feature for me is the sync of everything (books, quotes, dictionary, settings) across my phone and tablet. So I can pick up either device and continue reading instantly. 🤩
