      Same here lol, glad to see it’s easier for everyone else now though!

  • Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.

      Boox is the best, I’ve got to read using the app I want (moon reader), got to install whatever news apps I want

          Can you tell me about screen quality vs kindle?

          • So, as I understand it, e-ink screens are all made by the same company and sold to the various ereader companies. As such, they are basically comparable. At least this was the case two years ago when I was looking into it.

        How is screen clarity? Which model did you get? Did you use a kindle prior for comparison?

          There’s only a few screen manufacturers so you probably can find which devices has the same exact screen. It’s had more resolution than my aging eyes can notice.

          I’ve used a Barnes and Noble thing before, and my boox is much faster - obviously since it’s 2 newer generations. I don’t buy anything from Amazon. It’s more convenience than anything, they’re a rip off in Australia.

          Boox has official support to play store, while Barnes and Noble you need to search on Internet . I buy books at Kobo, it’s my favorite store now. It’s the only store that I can find decent amount of titles not in English. Do they have an e reader?

    Well, it doesn’t find my books. :(

    Correction, got it to work.

    Next step, unscrambling the books.

    Edit: And, done. (there weren’t that many books, 460 in total).
