I am looking for #recommendations for an #eReader! I own a #kindle scribe, but it is way too heavy and unwieldy for my use case. Some thoughts and ideas I have had:

⁃ In general I love small form factors (I prefer an iPad mini or smaller), I like physical page turning buttons, but don't mind if they are missing. Since I am not getting a steam machine, I am willing to spend money (upper limit is around a 1000€, which hopefully is plenty) on a good eReader.
⁃ I like the Boox Palma 2 - is the pro version worth it? I’ve heard these devices are somewhat delicate (reports of easily cracked screens). Is that true? It seems like a nice device to own.
⁃ Are there any good eReaders coming from Europe? There are eReaders from Europe in general, but are there any good ones? Seems like most recs’ are for Kindle, #Kobo or #Boox devices…
⁃ I was also thinking about the #daylightcomputer and the #remarkable, but these are more expensive devices because they do more. Regardless: Are they any good in your opinion? I could see liking these for e.g. relfective writing and similar.

Thanks for your thoughts and help in advance. Please boost to help me find knowledgeable people. ✌️

I use a #KoboTouch (a.k.a. N905C or Touch C or kobo4) since 12 years now.

It's 165 × 114 × 10 [mm] with 185 g.

I never connected it to the #Kobo #bookshop for #privacy reasons. Instead, I just copied the #epub files to it.

I run two #freeSoftware #ereader apps on it: #koreader and #plato. I prefer the former, but many enjoy the latter. The builtin reader isn't entirely bad, but I strongly suggest the other options.

@debacle @finn_matti Very similar here; I replaced my Tolino Epos (basically a rebranded Kobo) of many years with a Tolino Vision Color since the USB jack was worn out. Color is meh but I like the Tolino Visons for the physical buttons and for being quite a bit faster than the Epos. The ability to just connect it to Calibre and load whatever EPUB without any store bullshit is essential for me since I saw the family suffer with their Kindles.
