Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
__init__@programming.dev 1 week ago
I’m waiting for them to get rid of the send-to-kindle email thing to receive books from calibre. I’m surprised it has survived for this long. I’ve wanted to try out a kobo but can’t justify it cause my 10+ year old kindle still works perfectly fine for reading. But once they remove that feature or drop support for my device, it’s kobo time.

Check out boox for a properly open(-ish) platform, it’s android based.

Apparently Boox has been a stomping all over the GPL licensing terms. You can find a lot of info on it, but here is a non-reddit link: www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=277431

Aah, I didn’t know…but at least it’s store and format agnostic, which logo definitely is not.
