Requirements:

  • Able to pirate books and load them on
  • Nice if it can integrate with my arr stack (Sonarr, Radarr, etc)
  • reasonably priced
  • not locked down to anything

That’s it really just a simple e-reader that I can add what I want.

Edit: this is the first post where I got a lot of comments where I wasn’t too overwhelmed to reply to them all. Hard when you wake up to so many replies but trying to be better thanking people for their input.

    Except for being locked down, the amazon kindle is great device. Mine is 12 years old (1st gen Paperwhite) and I’m happy with it. And the form factor of their Kindle Oasis with asymmetric center of mass makes me want it more than any other device. Never tried it though. Are there alternatives for Oasis to use reader with one hand?

      I do like my older Amazon Paperwhite, but I’m bookmarking this thread for when/if it no longer functions.

      I’ve got it in airplane mode and don’t intend to reintroduce it to the Internet. I can load books from USB just fine and have no need for the Amazon ebook ecosystem.

      Thanks. I personally hate Amazon and would never give them by money but appreciate your input and I don’t judge others who do use Amazon as it’s your right to shop where you choose.

        I looked at this, but I’m not sure that center of mass is shifted toward handle in kobo. While it’s obvious for Oasis. If true, that will be cool.
