@thelinuxcast just been listening to ep 215 "The Everything for Everybody Episode" and got to you talking about #android #EBookReaders. I use #ReadEra, and i think its very good. Its proprietary, but it has no ads*, and is pretty customisable. (And it doesn't have internet permissions.)
*They sometimes do fullscreen popups for the paid version, but they're not obnoxious
I've also used #Librera, which is FOSS, with extreme customisation, but I'm more used to ReadEra.
I think a lot of the "Oh, you should switch to an #eink device! It's so much easier on the eyes!" hubbub ... is mostly humbug. #ebookreaders with no backlight are only easy on the eyes under very specific conditions ... and those with a color screen are muddier than their black-and-white counterparts.
That said: in bed, I'd much rather end the day reading on a #Kindle or a #Boox device. For me, this has more to do with the elegance of a dedicated device, though, than a screen technology.

@ninafelwitch I haven't looked much into these, but I saw them mentioned in a review. Kobo has a couple of eBook readers with color.
