I prefer to get the book file and read it on a open source book reader. Amazon & Apple bad.

hardly using an ereader, but if then kindle

mhm 😁 I can’t decided if I’m reading enough books to invest in a subscription or if I should just buy the few I read on Apple books 😅

if you won't read a lot, then don't go for kindle ... it's a waste of money then

have you used Kindle? if so, how did you like it?

i like it, but i'm not using it often, only when travelling ... i prefer holding paper in my hands

fair, I agree paper books are the best way to read

Paper books 📚

💯agree but can’t bring lots of books with on the road 😅

When I read two pages on ebooks, I fall asleep 😂 However, if I read a paper book, it could start a nuclear war and I wouldn't care.

hahaha feel ya

I use the kindle. Moving to an open source alternative when I get time to experiment with it though.

how do you like the kindle?

also, let me know if

you find any good open source alternative. would like to switch to that too

Check out Boox devices

also https://sdk.fbreader.org seems interesting

amazing thanks 💜📚

If reading on my phone I use Apple Books. But if I really want to enjoy a book I will download the epub on my phone and the send to my kindle.

I don’t like that Amazon is tracking my reading habits so someday I will find a private open source device. But at the moment I am using it regardless.

cool!

do you then download the epub from another site or do you download it from Amazon? in other words, can you buy/download books from other places than Amazon and send it to your Kindle?

You can send books to your kindle from any source.

that’s great, thanks 🤙🫂

there are other e-reader companies that aren't trapping you in a walled garden

do you have any recommendations?

I read a lot on Apple Books. I like that I can have one device for everything. Tried the kindle but didn’t like it as much. If not paper books are good too

was actually thinking the same, but I think I need to do some more research on it hehe

I asked my wife’s opinion. She loves reading on the kindle vs the iPhone.

Her top 3 reasons for choosing the kindle over Apple Books:

Bigger screen, longer battery life, looks more book-like/screen is mat.

interesting. i don’t mind reading through a screen as long is it’s not my phone but my computer
