    Anyone know if these are any good? I want a dedicated e-reader but I don’t want a kindle bc I don’t want to deal with Amazon.

      I still have a Pocketbook Lux 3 in use. It must be about 10 years old now and still works beautifully (even the backlight). One battery charge usually lasts me weeks, even with heavy backlight use. They are made in Europe (Switzerland) and run some flavour of Linux. They‘re not rock-bottom bargains, but the cost of the entry-level model seems quite fair in my opinion (€107). https://pocketbook.de/

      Similarly to @dg2445@sh.itjust.works I use their digital notebook. A Boox Note Air (1st gen) and it’s been really solid. They use android heavily so I’m not bound to their app store which I like.

      Case selection, for my model at least, sucks
