Alright guys,
It's been months I'm periodically lurking for a viable e-reader with no fucking e-shop and which can handle epub and pdf at least.

I always feel like the market is full of shit made to suck a little more your wallet.

Do you know something that comes with a non bloated firmware or that can be flashed to look like a reliable device ?

currently there is no eReader that has 100% libre software. So yes, everything as of right now is a botnet. Buy a physical hard cover book, and donate it to others when you're done with it.

no

just get a kobo like a regular intelligent person

That's what I already do for novels and essays, but I wanted something to read those much more expensive tech manuals from something more handy than my laptop. I guess I'll have to wait, thanks anon.

I thought they were quite capable, even if not perfect.

>>59384154
What eReader is closest to libre, then?
>>

With the Kindle Keyboard you can just burrow down to the fully-functional Linux underneath and just use that.

I've got a Kobo Glo HD. I spoofed the account/email and have never connected it to the wifi. It works just fine over USB. I've even updated it manually.

Any link about this? Seems to be good.

How botnet is a nook simple touch, if I have never connected to wifi or updated it?
>>
>>59384145
Just open it (it's extremely easy with most models) and take out the wifi chip.

Im afraid that one day I will run into thread like "is my toilet bowl a botnet?"

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
