Hi All, good afternoon,
I am looking for a ebook reader, perhaps second hand or refurbished, that
- has eink screen
- can read epub, pdf, txt, html
- can disable wifi 'forever' (either take out wifi card or at least something more complex than changing a toggle)
- ideally, runs an OS that i can develop for, e.g. have root or whatever is needed
- screen size 10" or more
- color or stylus are optional
I found PineNote and kobo elipsa 2E, their battery size is different , PiNeNote 4000 mah and 2E is 2400. But life time on one battery charge is opposite (10hr vs 30hr). I did not understand why.
Hope you have some experiences or tips or possibly a spare device.
Also I may be after a few sd cards, one for ereader and one for another device as I ran out of storage.
I am located in Sydney.
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Regards
Sveta
