  Been using Boox Poke 5 for more than a year. Really happy with it.

  Latest android update added quick share which is much better than bluetooth to transfer my epub and other files

    Yeah I really enjoy my Tab Ultra C as well. How does quickshare work?

      Enable quick share to receive from everyone (if using different google account) in receiver side. And then on sender when sharing, just use quick share. It will then show nearest devices.

      Afaik, it will use wifi to transfer the file, so it’s much faster than simple Bluetooth

        What does google have to do with local share?

        Use KDE Connect

  If I had to buy an ereader I would buy something that is native android but my pw3 had been passed to me from my grandmother, which I cherish the device but I care deeply about privacy and freedom so hackdroid is a great middle ground.

    As much as I love Android, it’s not for the privacy conscious, unless you can degoogle.

      Even without google, it’s a security nightmare. Which makes it a privacy nightmare.

      I don’t have gaps on my kindle. And even has limited system apps as it needs to be light for the hardware
