My kindle screen got damaged and I don't find a place to repair it; here at the third world(I'm from Colombia). I decided to buy this baby on temu, it hasn't arrived yet and it seems like delayed in transit, however I was wondering if you had trice devices different than kindle, Kobo, pocketbook. As a Foss enthusiasm, I like an open software such as android instead Amazon. When I had tried to get out my books from my kindle, it didn't let me, by USB the epubs weren't epubs anymore, that's the reason why I don't buy kindle anymore. Has you tried an Android device with e-ink technology? I think that it will be the future

I think your second paragraph highlights why android ereaders have some fans. It's not so much that android is a great solution, but it does mean that you aren't locked into the vendors OS and therefore store.

I self-host my eBook/comic library and so most ereaders won't work with that or are a little persnickety.

    on the other hand, the open os meant i could just make one of the shortcuts point to koreader.

    Support is definitely getting better regarding all of that. I just sent up a OPDS service to Audiobookshelf to be able to get books on one of my ereaders.

    Next step is setting up some method to sync reading progress, but one step at a time.
