I just set up a Asus ZenWifi BE14000 to replace an old eero setup. I like it so far and haven’t experienced anything weird. I liked that it didn’t gate all the traffic shaping, new user notifications, and security behind a subscription paywall.
Very easy, if you are the “all my metadata must be perfect” type person then it plays well with Calibre, if you are a just “put it on I don’t care” , all you need is a web browser and WiFi connection or something that recognizes a flash drive including tablets/phones.
The point about DRM is more that for stores like Amazon, you can only remove the DRM anymore if it’s on a physical Kindle connected to Calibre with the right plugin. That doesn’t work on multipurpose tablets like the boox.
Koreader works great on kobo, installing is a minor effort.
If you haven’t already, take advantage of the fact that your Kindle still runs and use Calibre to remove the DRM from any purchased books from Amazon, it’s by far easier when you’ve got a physical device
Depends what a little bit on what you’re looking for. As a disclaimer, I am a Kobo user. Whether you go with a single purpose device or a multipurpose device like the boox depends a little bit on how focused you want to be able to be. I like my dedicated E reader because it makes it harder for me to just pop over into some other application to “I’ll just check something, quickly” because for me those never end up quick. Kobo has a good store, with a nice interface and the DRM is easy to strip. It also works well with side loading DRM-free content.
A boox would give you more storefronts to choose from but you’re more locked in to whatever DRM those stores choose.
I don’t have an easy answer. Amazon was the 1 ton gorilla in the room so that was the one I was familiar with, but I will try to update this comment as I find information out.
According to the terms, when you purchase a Kindle e-book, you are buying a license to access the content rather than owning the book outright. And the only reason they made it explicit is CA law AB 2426. So you can “access” it on any device that can display their content, be it an app or hardware device, but you can’t possess it via a download for example. (I find this all to be bullshit, I’m just stating Amazon’s position on the topic)
“Also, remember, adults don't need gifts, OK? Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn’t need slippers. If they don’t live by you, don’t get them a gift."
The other half of the package is for decoration on the top. You break the cookies in half and try to put them in a decorative manner.
