  Boox is best because it runs full android, dont lock yourself in to Amazon. Some folks prefer Supernote if writing us your focus, but if reading is your jam get Boox as you can read any format, download off of any site or app, sideboard and run f-droid, read the web, even use the fediverse. The screens are as good as you can get, and the software stays updated.

    I was thinking about flashing a cheap one with some custom ROM if that exist in the ereader world, but Boox sounds like my kind of device, thanks!

      Well, there are ways to jailbreak kindles and use third party software like this: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kindle-devices

    As a side note, check out the app Mihon if you like to read comics, the seas are open for sailing if you're that sort, or its just a great reader. Works great on Boox.

  As long as it’s got an e-ink screen, it’s already an upgrade vs reading on a phone or tablet.

  I have a Kindle and love it, but if you don’t want to go with Amazon, I think Kobos are a solid option! The current best models are the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kobo Libra Colour, but they both have cheaper models as well.
