Amazon may be developing a cheaper Kindle with a color display. Leaked pictures show a prototype with no front light and a 6 inch screen screen. It's said to have better color saturation and more features that make use of color though. https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/1mp8n11/a_amazon_quebrou_a_parte_deles_do_contrato_ent%C3%A3o/#Kindle#KindlePetitColor#EInk

My ancient 2013-era #Kindle Paperwhite keeps on deleting sideloaded ebooks, which means that I should probably shop for a new reading tablet.
So, what small-sized #Android #eink tablet can people recommend which also runs the Kindle app without any problems?
(These days, I try to avoid the Kindle store as much as I can, but I am loath to give up my vast library of Kindle ebooks entirely. Although I fortunately still have copies of most the files back when it was still possible to crack the #DRM .)

🆕 blog! “Whatever happened to cheap eReaders?”
Way back in 2012, The Guardian reviewed an eInk reader which cost a mere £8.
The txtr beagle was designed to be a stripped-down and simplified eReader.
As far as I can tell, it never shipped. There were a few review units sent out but I can't find any evidence of consumers getting their hands on one. Also, that £8 price was t…

Anyone have an eink writing device? I'm looking into them. Portability is important to me for notes, so the 10s seem large. But the only smaller device that seems highly recommended is the Nomad. Is that my best option?

I know #Android sucks in a lot of ways, but I'm tempted to get a #BOOX device as my next laptop, using Termux as my CLI.
Just get a 10" eink tablet and pair it with a BT keyboard or something. Because I don't see too many e-ink laptops out there, except for incredibly expensive ones.
Using #eInk for a laptop would be a fun exploration in minimalism, particularly if monochrome.
