@Em0nM4stodon Great recommendations in this thread! Raised for when on a Chromium web browser: this open source extension offers a very similar feature set. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/library-reader/mjpdekbomfibfifomicibenpofdkkacc

@Em0nM4stodon Happy user of the Xteink X4, it matches all the points except "backlit". It turns on quickly, reads epubs, all on sdcard, tiny and fits in the palm (some may not like this, I love the size for bite sized reading).

@Em0nM4stodon All items except affordable in the Boox Palma. All items but backlight with the Xteink X4 running the Open Source Crosspoint firmware.

> Does anyone know an e-reader with all these features?

Is @pine64 doing an e-reader device yet?

@drwho

@Em0nM4stodon What about a Pine64 device? I think their eReader might be sold out, but they have cheap tablets.

@Em0nM4stodon I use a Kobo. Except for the size, it has those features, even dark mode can be turned on with NickelMenu. A used one could keep the price down.

@Em0nM4stodon

Cheap tablet?

@Em0nM4stodon Kobo Clara BW

@Em0nM4stodon uhhh, how about a Palm Pilot?

@Em0nM4stodon would an e reader phone app work?

thanks for the reminder that i need to download an e reader app on my new Fairphone.😉 in Murena's app store are a number of e readers w/ long lists of features including yours, plus private, open source & free 😁

@Em0nM4stodon Xteink X4 fits almost all of those but the light. Most affordable of anything I think and smallest other than the Xteink X3.

I love my X4. Battery lasts forever. Ultra ultra portable. But for reading at home I got with a 6 inch Boox device.

@Em0nM4stodon
No eink ereader is backlit. They use front lighting.

@Em0nM4stodon @Hiro the XTEInk X4 has all that but backlight, it has a 4" screen and is like $45 on aliexpress, I love mine, I use it during commute all the time.
However you must not be afraid to tinker a bit as the official firmware is not the greatest, yet there are really good ones online like CrossPoint ( https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader -- upgrading is pretty much plug&play)

@Em0nM4stodon If the lack of an SD card is not a dealbreaker, another vouch for Kobo Clara (Colour). I've been using a Libra Colour (bigger model) completely offline since the day it was bought, and its internal storage is still mostly empty. No proprietary software needed, it's just a USB drive.

Do note that if it has a wifi connection, it does try to contact the mothership, but it's fairly easy to mod its software. I've done it just in case, but it spends its days offline anyway.
