E-Readers are technology

I am happy with my ereader. I don't own a tablet and my laptop is too big for casual reading. Also the screen is very different, battery life is much higher too.

If you're a pasty fuck, that is.

How are you keeping your manga library up to date on your ereader user?

Fuck. Mean to quote

I mostly read completed manga, but for the ones that are ongoing like Kaguya, I just wait till somebody uploads the translated tankoubons on madokami, since I prefer reading per volume rather than waiting for shit weekly

I just got a kobo forma today
Planning on using it mostly for novels but at 8" it's big enough for manga too

what's good about koreader?

>what's good about koreader?
PDF formatting.

I'm thinking about updating my 2015 Paperwhite, but since newer versions are not jailbroken yet, Amazon devices are out of the picture.

I got a Kindle 2 for $15 on Crag's List.
Only problem I have with it is that it doesn't really support images or anything that manga would be in.
Regular books though, it's literally perfect

Are there any alternative open sourced OSes for eink devices these days?
There WAS one called OpenInkPot but it died.

How do you like it?
Does it support KSM and Koreader already?
Would you recommend it over Clara HD?

Want to gift it to myself for new year's.
Wish there was a proper way to get one in Germany.

Still using first gen Kindle, i like it.

What's the recommended E-Reader to get?
Kobo Glo?
Also there was an infograph/guide to get the best of your E-Reader, it had details about which e-reader to get, how to change the firmware and install android, and using calibre to manage the books and converting manga into CBZ that's optimized for E-Readers.

Seconding this

For manga you may want somethinh bigger. Imo the Kobo Aura HD or Kobo Aura H2O is the minimum. For H2O, get the first gen because it supports micro sdcard

I just use a fucking S8 with MoonReader Pro on because all other reading apps are shit. I had a Paperwhite and I felt I'd never have it with me when I want to read. Basically it's another device I have to keep track of, etc.

Most of the idiots buying all these fancy e-ink displays and don't even read or use them anyway.

I read minimum 2 hours a day, everyday, on my phone and have no problems with this at all. Use some bullshit modification on android that lets you turn apps fullscreen and removes all distractions like the status bar or led. I don't understand why anyone would buy an e-reader, they are useless in 2018. It's like buying a phone for text messages and one for phonecalls, just makes no sense

>But brooo I can't read my cartoon porn comics dude
Grow up

They're cheap, the newer ones are waterproof, the screens look better for text, the battery life is better, you can read outside, the screens are bigger than phones. Need me to go on or you good?

The *only* issue I've ever had with using the S8 is that PDF's are just bad to work with. But they're bad to work with on any device anyway, just makes reading awkward. Some of them are scans so can't be converted either, which is annoying.

Other than that you don't need an e-reader. You need Calibre and a smartphone with a reading app that lets you use any format instead of only .mobi files. Even the inbuilt Calibre eBook reader can be used without opening the whole library so you can just keep it on a corner of your screen (let's face it you're probably on your computer most of the day) and set it to stay on top so you can take short breaks and read 50 pages and then back to what you were doing. Do this you finish a book in a day or two.

All of those apply to a smartphone with a good reading app on. When have you ever been without charge and only had your trusted e-reader? You haven't. I don't even think the screens being bigger is a good thing either.

Honestly surprised that Amazon hasn't bought Calibre

>koreader
I wish they implemented actual book list instead of basic file browser.

ipad 5 pro the best

I'm in the market for an a4 sized reader, only found a few and they are all crazy expensive. Sony, boox, etc

Why would i buy a 13 inch reader for like a thousand dollars, when i can buy a windows tablet with a 12 inch screen for a third of that, or use the money towards a high spec tablet like a thinkpad tablet or surface.

I see no reason why you cant get 400 dollar A4 sized readers.

How is KOreader for basic mobi/epub reading? Is it better than the stock kindle reader?

Why There's no cheap E-readers?

I don't leave my house so that doesn't apply to me

The new Kindle PaperWhite 4 is 99 euros on amazon-de. I suppose that this applies to other regions as well. That is basically nothing compared what books cost in the EU. (books are super expensive here)

Would be interesting to see a speedreading-esque e-reader, though. I've used those speedreading apps like Spritz to test what they're like, and it could be an interesting approach to reading or another form of e-reader.

It basically displays 1 word at a time at speed (flashing the word, or two, or three) and it does work for quick skimming. It's obviously not ideal for deep reading but it's a great way to skim really.

But I'm thinking like a pager sized device that does this and displays a custom number of words, so the device itself could be extremely small, and you can basically just read by staring down at the little device and it flashes the words at you (like the apps do), but a physical e-reader. I reckon if Amazon sold this it would do pretty well in the world we live

No projection. I've used most e-readers and just find that setup the most convenient

I bought a Kobo Aura One. Hardware wise is good, but the software is rather trash. The reader has problems with highlighting and you have to convert your ebooks to .kepub format if you want the best experience (page count per chapter, fast page turn).
I will try to install koreader, hopefully it's much better.

Does the S8 disturb your sleep? I found that when I was reading on my tablet before bed I would have trouble sleeping, but when I read paper book I have hard time staying awake. For me this is a good thing to help sleep at night.

>Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Did you manage to find some good scanlations? Volumes 1-14 are usually those shitty double page official scans which are a pain in the ass to read on an ereader or spanish to english scanlations.

Not really, no. I use the bluelight filter and often times fall asleep whilst still reading. Also, with the MoonReader app (others are available), it allows you to adjust the brightness of the screen even lower than the standard S8 brightness, so when you close out of the app you get the same eye strain like when you turn f.lux off, or something. You can have your phone/device at lowest brightness with the blue light filter on, and then the app takes it even lower than that. It is still a screen though, so I mean..

Gonna upgrade from a Kindle 4 NT to pic related on black friday.
It's the only ereader I've managed to find with an 8 inches screen, jack and a micro sd slot.

>Reading anything in the sun is bad.
Says the fat basement dweller who never sees the sun.

I would want one that has a half usable web browser. The one on the kindle is ass.

>The new Kindle PaperWhite 4 is 99 euros on amazon-de
No warm light and no koreader (not jailbroken yet). Fuck that.

But you can just dim the back light. I don't even know what koreader is since you can just convert everything into mobi's. Plus I don´t "read" cartoons.
On top of it all 100 euros is nothing up north so w/e.

Is there an e-reader that isn't completely locked down and still supports major e-book distributors like Amazon?

Use this

Check madokami, I split the pages in vols 1-14 using scantailor. Not the best but it's way better than the double page version

>madokami
Unfortunately, I never bothered registering when I was able to. Any chance you coul upload them somewhere else?

I posted this question in the sqt yesterday but I didn't get answer, maybe one of you here can help me. What should I do if I have a pirated epub file that is diplayed correctly in mupdf but gets completely fucked on my kobo? I tried dicking around with the font settings but it didn't do jack shit. Pic related, the epub on my kobo and the parts of the html and css files inside the epub.

>But you can just dim the back light.
Nope. I have 2015 PW. It's too blue to read comfortably. And if I dim it enough, the text is simply not legible due to the lack of contrast.
>I don't even know what koreader is since you can just convert everything into mobi's.
Doesn't work with PDFs properly.
Koreader allows you to "reflow" the PDF so you can actually read it on the small screen.
Plus I had a lot of crashes due to insufficient RAM with larger PDFs.
Sometimes even conversion of simple books can suck.
> Plus I don´t "read" cartoons.
Good for you, I suppose?
>On top of it all 100 euros is nothing up north so w/e.
100 euros wasted for a terrible product is just silly. There are better ways to throw money away.

I'm at work right now but if this thread is still up when I get home in about 8 hours I'll upload it on MEGA

Are there any readers with an ADHD mode similar to iA Writer's Focus Mode that only shows the sentence/paragraph you're reading at full opacity and dims the rest of the page?

I have bad ADHD and I found it was quite easier to read documents this way.

No, but maybe check out a speed reader and just set the words displayed to 10-12 a time and low wpm. Don't actually know if it can be implemented on an e-reader though because the E-ink display would have to refresh constantly or w.e which it's not good at doing probably

nothing at the moment but have salvation by Peter F Hamilton lined up
previously Scott Sigler Nocturnal and before that Dark matter by Blake Crouch.

actually dropped nocturnal just before the end and Dark Matter was awesome

whats wrong with fiction?

>How is KOreader for basic mobi/epub reading? Is it better than the stock kindle reader?
Coolreader3 is much better than koreader for mobi/epub. Koreader is best-in-class for PDFs. Nickel OK for epub, so I switch to cr3 only if nickel has trouble with correct parsing of an ebook. As far as I know Kindle stock reader is comparable to nickel.

>Are there any alternative open sourced OSes for eink devices these days?
There is a couple einks that run android if you count that in. And some peaople installed debian on kobos.

Look up kobo start menu.

THIS IS YOUR FREE REMINDER:

If you read 1 book a week you can only read 52 a year.
Average life of a man is 80-82, let's say 81. Minus 18 years since you're likely not really reading then, or not properly. So 63.

63 x 52 = 3276 books if you read 1 book a week, without fail. (You won't do this)
So probably less since some (probably many) will take longer than a week and die earlier.

>If you read 1 book a year you will read 81 books in your life.
>If you read 5 books a year you will read 405 books in your life.
>If you read shit books (pleb tier fiction, sci-fi trash, harry potter, and so on) you will read shit books in your life, aka you'll read nothing in your life.
>If you don't read at all then you may as well not know how to read, it's the same thing.

You're welcome.

Imagine being so salty about only being able to read 1 book in a week, and instead of in a few hours like a normal person, that you have to apply some derp shit logic to things that affect only yourself.

what are the good books that I should read?

>Reading books that you can finish in 1 day
Hello turbo tard
Mein Kampf lol

Ive read it

What are your thoughts on Knausgård's prose?

>Not enjoying reading
Fuck off Jamal. Mien Kampf is worst than A Song of Ice and Fire.

>A Song of Ice and Fire.
I don't even know what that is

who is he? never read anything by him

You should read it.

I don't read shit, or anything written by people with Twitter accounts
Some guy I don't know

$100 says that you've read something by someone that uses twitter. $1 for every person that has social media. Also you just admitted to know who George R. R. Martin is. You know what A Song of Ice and fire is. You lied you penis.

I googled it. I've heard of Game Of Thrones of course but it's blatantly not worth anyones time, and I really don't think I have unless it's a pseudonymous account.

>Google
What are you, Amish? You're on Jow Forums. How are you not wasting your fucking time right now? How can you say reading is waste when you're shit posting on a Taiwanese Deflowing Cartoon Board?

Most of the books I read, are highly advanced textbooks.
Is this good?

Everyone needs some downtime. The point is: Some people like other people to shit (poo) right into their mouth and consider this a 'fun' time, but it's still objectively a bad thing, and a waste of time to us.

I am wasting time here, but I don't convince myself that I'm not by saying things such as but not limited to, "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted, bro! John Lennon bro! Epic dude, pass me the Nintendo controller bro"
Jow Forums is a better way to waste time than some other things.

Definitely, not, a, bad thing, my friend.

What about japanese LN?
Redpill books?
Recommended to read?

>The point is: Some people like other people to shit (poo) right into their mouth and consider this a 'fun' time, but it's still objectively a bad thing, and a waste of time to us.
haha never heard of this, do you have more info?

Reading fiction is still a better waste of time than reading shitposts. Its not hard to finish a book in a few hours. Even non-fiction books can be read in a short period of time. Try reading several books in a week.

TL;DR Q: how to deal with kobo, calibre and sorting endless manga files?

I've got a kobo aura h20 mk2.
Current: pic related and nisekoi because I need some lighthearted shit in my otherwise drab and miserable existence
Previous: The Guns of August (Tuchman) might have been the last non-weeb shit I read besides "Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cooking Course".

Anyone sort their kobo shit into the "collections"?
There must be an easier way of sorting this shit than the tiresome and laborious method I've employed by default so far:

>calibre to send files to device
>on device, long press "add to collection" FOR EACH FUCKING FILE
>select relevant "collection" directory
>repeat endlessly
It gets old.

I've never touched the native kobo app, dunno if there even is one and if it's better. I've used this method with my old kobo glo for years and it was never a problem because I never uploaded so many files at once before like all this weeb shit I'm currently indulging in.
>nisekoi
>highschool juliet
>20th century boys
and the real assblasting eternity kickers
>one piece
>detective conan
I'd feel as if I'd go mad getting all 1000+ chapters of each on here and sorting on the device.
Never had to bother to think about this shit before now as calibre was just plug in and go.
Fiddling around in calibre, I can't seem to be able to do shit in regards to sending files to specific device "collections".

How do the rest of you handle your chinese cartoon comics?
Surely in a saner, less time consuming method than me.

Yeah sure, it's basically right there when you read Game Of Thrones (or anything similar), bro! Just imagine George R.R Martin squatting over you and taking a dump right onto the page you're reading..

Interesting. I've seen it mentioned before but have never needed to consider bothering with it until now.
Unfortunately the newer kobo's have done away with the sd card slot.
Do you just not use the inbuilt memory at all and just drag and drop shit onto the card when you need to?

I don't have anything on the onboard memory except for the files needed to run koreader. And yeah, I just drag and drop stuff onto the SD card and organize titles manually by making folders for em. Real easy and simple.
