Looking to get a used #ereader. Found a nice table of file format support on good old #wikipedia

Unsurprisingly, amazon is the only company to support their proprietary .azw format and not the otherwise open-standard .epub 🤡

More surprisingly, #eink is a brand name of the E Ink corp. who pretty much have a monopoly on 'electrophoretic display technologies' 😕

@douginamug I have a #Kindle Paperwhite 2 bought 8-9 years ago. Works perfectly with #Calibre, including Amazon's Whispersync. Use it almost daily, still in tip top shape. Most of my library is in .mobi format. Great piece of hardware, has served me well. P.S.: they're moving away from mobi to epub for imported documents so you're good.

@governa @douginamug big fan of calibre, used it for years. There are plugins and work flows that, erm, some people use to strip drm for archive/backup purposes.

@gruntfutuk @douginamug indeed! 😃
