Carrying my book sack everywhere is getting a bit difficult in the rain. Thinking of buying an e-reader. Which one is the best and most reasonably priced? (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm very annoyed with my Tolino (EU branding for Kobo). Drag and drop is nice but there's no way to update metadata (fixing titles or authors for example) and now it often simply doesn't recognize new epub files which I add.

Consider installing Koreader on it and using that. It is so much better than the stock OS it is hard to express in words.

I might have to try that. I'm at the point where I am willing to buy something which runs stock Android but other than my Tolino not loading new books properly it's completely sufficient.

I did finally do this and oh goodness you're right. Thanks for reminding me this was an option.

Just don't get nerd sniped by the high level of customisability because it will eat into your reading time.

I was already familiar with koreader having used it on mobile sometimes, but I am definitely getting sucked into the customisation black hole.
