Ask HN: Which ebook reader to buy?

2 points by Keloo 10y ago ↗ HN

I want to buy a good and not very expensive ebook reader. I'd like it to have no restrictions (to allow me download and store any free ebook). I have not that much time to surf the web and forums. So if you surfed the web in searching for one, can you please leave here a suggestion?

"not very expensive" could be useful to be explicit here. What is not very expensive for you?

I have a budget of ~150$

If you're looking for an "open" e-reader, your best bet is probably one from Kobo: https://us.kobobooks.com/

The kindle is far from "open," but note you can convert any .epub to .mobi using calibre, so technically you can read anything.

Works pretty well.

I have a rooted Nook which I have Google Books, Kindle and Pocket installed on. It only set me back £25 :-)
