A cozy way to sneak in some classics.

I want to read books, not just buy them.

My Boox Page just got this tonight. Main new feature for me is that they added dark mode to the stock Neoreader app.

I use an Android e-reader (the Likebook P6) and I'm so frustrated by the lack of a good read-it-later app. This chart lays out the shortcomings of current apps.

Pocket used to be good but they dropped support for page turning.

Does anyone have a good app for saving and reading articles on e-ink screens?

There's an Omnivore beta app that supports page turning (great!!) but... for some reason, I can't adjust the fonts on my tablet. (I have this issue with the official Ominvore app, too.) And the Omnivore app doesn't auto-download articles?!?! I have to be online to load each article when I open it, and only then can I go offline. Pocket and Wallabag don't work this way; they'll download all your articles at once and you can read them all later, even if offline.

Are there any other options???

So, I've got a 9th generation Kindle Oasis and its battery is really starting to show its age. This is also one of the models where it is damn near impossible to replace the battery. Any attempts that I have read about online resulted in broken screens and sadness.

I'm not too wedded to the Amazon ecosystem, but I do like being able to borrow library books, which my local library allows in the form of sending them to your amazon account. I have a few books from the kindle store, but not a ton.

I've been looking around online for a replacement e-ink reading device, and the Boox Page has caught my eye. I'm curious how those have been performing for anyone who's got one here, since they've been out for a while now. I like the idea of it not being tied to any particular vendor's store, and the fact that I could install the Kindle and Libby apps on it, along with, apparently, pretty much anything else available in the Play store.

Important things for me are battery life and having physical page turn buttons, as well as a built in light so that I can read in bed without bothering my wife with a table lamp or something.

I would love to see some feedback from people who own these devices.

Also, does anyone know how often the Boox store restocks them? It's been showing as unavailable every time I check over the past few days.
