What is the best E-reader to buy right now? I'm looking at the Kindle Paper white and it looks almost like actual paper and less strenuous for my eyes.

I tend to read pdf's quite a bit as well, can you rent library books with them?

Also which one is easiest to sail ships with and make people walk the plank with?

I have a Kindle paper white, its awesome. But rent library book? I belive it's not possible. I usually read my pdf's books from univesity, and it's works well, Mobi files are the most recommended to read on kindle. in my opinion it worths, i don't know if it's the best one, by the way.

I've got a Kobo Aura HD myself. Really happy with it.

I heard some bad shit about kobo, how the ink refresh takes too long.

Like turning the page and browsing the web for example,

>>9282924
I experience no such issues when reading but can't speak for the web browser because I never use it

I have a Kindle Voyage with a 6" screen. I find it a little to small to be comfortable, but many people find that size fine. If you can, try using it beforehand to see if you can tolerate the size.

You can read PDFs but the formatting can mess up.

Don't rent books, always pirate them. libgen.io and #bookz on undernet, then convert to mobi or amz3 with Calibre.
>>
>>9283024
Can you pirate manga?

Not a weeb, I'm just curious.
>>
>>9283524
Yes

For PDFs, a tablet-type reader is actually better than an e-Ink device
I have nooks (Simple Touch for ePubs, the latest inexpensive tablet for PDFs, web, etc.) and am very happy with both. (They were gifts, is why I have both kinds.)
You can rent library ebooks with any of them
same for your other question, covered by Calibre (which converts all formats but not pdf very well) and DeDRM as needed

I'd rather stare at the sun for 20 hours than read on a tablet-type reader like an ipad.
>>
>>9283524
You can convert .zip manga to epub in calibre. I read some of Inio Asano's works in my paperwhite with no issues other than the font being too small in some parts.
>>
anyone know a good site to convert pdfs to epub files?
>>
>>9283946
Just use calibre, it is a free program.
>>
>>9283981
what if i someday have an e-reader which doesnt accept pdfs?
>>
I got memed into getting an iPhone like 2 years ago. What are my free options?
>>
>>9284000
Then convert to another reader format with calibre, it can do any format.
>>
>>9284056
wait calibre can convert it? i never knew, thank you. i thought you mean just use calibre to read.
>>
>>9284060
My bad, should have worded my post better. Glad I could help.
>>
>>9283738

And I would rather you stare at the sun for 20 hours than be forced to read a pdf on an eInk device
>>
>>9283024
Does that voyage run faster than the Paperwhite? It's going a bit low lately so I'm thinking of upgrading but I'm not sure if it's worth it yet, been using my Paperwhite for almost four years
>>
>>9282880
I have this too, it's great. If you want to read comics too Kobo is best, since it supports cbz and cbr.
>>
>>9284060
calibre converted pdfs are dogshit, use abbyy finereader and fix the few conversion errors yourself
>>
Do Kobos have the neat little functions like x-ray, OED, and Wikipedia searching? My Paperwhite's on the fritz after a lot of traveling and I've heard a lot of good things about the Kobo but I really love those Kindle features.
>>
>>9285165
what is so bad about reading pdf's on an e reader ? compared to like an ipad for example.
>>
>>9282879
I have a paperwhite and I rent library books on it all the time. A lot of libraries (at least in the US) use Overdrive for people to check out ebooks. If you live in a small town with a poorly funded library, though, the selection will be shit.

e-Ink based ereaders are terrible at formatting PDFs, whereas tablet-based ereaders handle them just fine.
>>
just fucking read physical books you faggot.
>>
>>9288314
You can't pirate physical books and have more space in your backpack.
