can you recommend a simple ebook reader app for #android-based #eink devices?

all i need is:

• browse my library at ~/Books
• open epub and pdf files
• remember reading position
• navigate page by page
• close a book and switch to another one

by the way can you recommend any web browsers for #eink displays?

or maybe i should just switch to links or w3m...

second, moar #eink please! 🤩

my eyes are so happy!

i made the font size 2-3 times larger i actually needed it to be.

i just like pixel-perfect black-and-white ui. ui should be as simple as possible, without getting in your way.

that's why i like editing text in vi. no status bars, no tabs, no menus.

same goes for my choice of a bitmap font. it's just crisp and high-contrast.

that's why i run openbsd. it has all things that are important for me: spleen, vi...

low-tech feels simple and reliable. feels like you are in control. it just works

...but maybe it's all because i want to extend my childhood experience with 8-bit computers :)

any pros and cons for you? (compared to a smarter phone)

fortunately, with vi, i don't need any of that nonsense... my main concern is typing delay, i'm wondering: what's the termux experience like on #eink tablets?

unfortunately, i just don't have skills nor time to build it myself. maybe in my next life :)

ok, maybe, at the end of the day, i should try #supernote with my #ergodox :)

a photo from reddit: a keyboard (ergodox ez) connected to an eink tablet (supernote nomad)

considered: eink tablets (supernote manta, boox go, boox note), eink ereaders (pocketbook, kobo, even kindle) and a few diy options (waveshare + rpi, eink panels with esp32).

• eink tablets are too expensive and slow for code editing;
• android ones are too bloated;
• jailbreaking ereaders is too fragile;
• diy options are even more expensive and clumsier.

• 7-10" 15hz eink;
• customizable os (i want stripped down #openbsd with ssh client only);
• replaceable battery;
• wifi;
• usb-c (for external keyboard, display, and charging).

They're multiplying 😬️
