Hello guys, I wanted to know what is the best e-book reader that reads the epub format for the best price ?

kobo
>>7528772
Which model ?
>>7528782
the portable one
>>7528809
They are all portable. I mean, which model do you have and why ?
Not the dude you're discussing with but I have a kindle 4G and serves for the purpose of reading. I think that any e-reader is fine
Also, just for your information, there's the kindle paperwhite that has backlight if that's your thing

I use aura, got it for cheap. Yeah I just buy books when it's on sale.

I think I will take the aura too, thanks
I've got the Aura H2O it's pretty nice. And cheap too if you're in America. Buy it from Canada and enjoy that favorable exchange rate.
I got the Aura H2O and I like it a lot.
Got a kindle paperwhite. It's glorious.
I usually have problems falling asleep after using tech, but not after using it. Kind of disappointed by the battery life, only about 30 hours. I've traveled longer than this. It doesn't read epub, but that's no problem with calibre.
The reading really feels natural, doesn't tire the eye. Really good.

Kindle doesn't read the epub format. It's a deliberate omission meant to lock consumers (who don't Calibre) into Amazon's own format.

converting from epub to azw3 is completely painless.

This, I cant fuckin fathom it. Its so clear that everyone who has bought a paperwhite has been nothing but happy with it, EXCEPT with PDFs.
The only people who hate it are hipster contrarians who buy kobo because fuck amazon, and thats fine because its a great device too.

calibre>send specific format to device>azw3.
Unless you are a bibliotik purist who only looks for retail copies for upload credit, or are some linux fag who cuts the words "open source" onto his wrist with hot paperclips that is fine way to do it.

Just make sure it has a light and you are good to go. I have a kobo glo I bought a couple years back, it's great.

As a diehard freedomfag I'm still mad about the lack of jailbreak, though.
I'm wondering why nobody has mentioned the Nook line yet in this thread. It reads more file formats than does the kindle, including epubs (and yes I do know about Calibre). They have a device equivalent to the kindle paperwhite, along with tablets comparable to those from Amazon.
>>7532371
Yes of course, you and I know about this, but the vast majority of Amazon customers don't and they all end up rewarding Amazon's lock-in.

Nooks have like 1gb of space with no option for external storage. Nooks are the lowest tier.
OP here. Thanks for your replies guys.
I think I will take an e-reader with light, and I would prefer a Kobo, because I don't want to use Calibre.
I live in France, and I will buy my reader when the sales start, the 6 January.

What the problem Kindle has with PDFs? I got one for christmas and apart from selectively changing the font style when it wants, it's decent
>>7532377
Thanks mate. Hope I'll sleep well tonight.

Why would somebody use PDF over mobi?
The only reason I think is a)The book is not avaliable in other formats b) It's graphic rich and you can't read it without the images

adobe digital editions
new nook has 4gb (~2.8 for files)
waterproof, android 4.4
>ebook readers
just use your phones you retards
>>7532468
You still use calibre to maintain your library tho...
Buy a Paperwhite 3 and use calibre.

if you have a scan of a book, it is alot easier to read it on an ipad in pdf than to OCR, correct errors, and format into RTF/HTML, then convert to epub
