Best 10-inch eReaders & e-Ink tablets

  • by

The 10-inch format has gained traction in recent years. Now, there are both “basic” e-readers in this size and Android-based e-Ink tablets that deliver a user experience akin to traditional tablets but with a digital ink display. These devices cater to various needs, from reading eBooks or A5/A4 documents to replacing notebooks, planners, and bullet journals. Which model should you choose? It depends on your use case.

PDF reading capacities of the main ebook readers on the market

  • by

If you want to read PDF documents (academic papers, newspaper articles, scanned books, etc.), you need to be aware that not all e-readers have the same PDF reading capabilities. Some come with a fairly minimal PDF-reading software, while others are better suited at opening and displaying a PDF, or make it easy to install a third party software that will make the reading experience great.

This article focuses on the PDF-reading capabilities of “consumer” e-readers on the market, i.e. the ones you’ll find on most shops and on online retailers such as Amazon, which are produced by companies that have been making e-readers for years and are conceived to read digital books, but can also – and sometimes very well – allow you to read and even annotate PDF documents.

How to install Koreader on a Kobo e-reader (with KFMon/Kute File Monitor)

We’ve
already written an article about how to install Koreader on Kobo
e-readers with KSM, but this program forces you to restart the
e-reader to switch between the two programs, which isn’t very
practical, and some e-readers aren’t, or are barely, compatible with
KSM.

The solution that we’re going with relies on
Kute File Monitor, aka KFMon.

The advantage of this process is that it’s easy to install Koreader, and that you can switch between Koreader and Nickel (Kobo’s default system) with the simple push of a button on Nickle’s home screen (which will
look like the cover of a book).

Kobo H2O2 (Aura H2O version 2): Compact & multipurpose

The Kobo H2O 2nd edition is very different from its ancestor, the Kobo H2O 1st edition. This new version is thinner, offers an adaptive backlighting system (a “natural light” option that uses yellow light rather than blue light) and uses new materials, which all set it apart from the previous model… But what is it worth? Our test, our opinion.
