Ah, finally. I have been looking for an #ereader that allows me to read my #ttrpg sourcebooks. Most are pdf, most are not designed for things like reflow and most are full of tables (my traveller boos, especially).
I did not want a tablet, i wanted eink.
So, the kindle paperwhite did not really work, kindles do not like complex pdfs.
My pocketbook Verse was OK, if you hold it sideways and don't mind skipping back and forth.
But the Boox Air Note 5 C looks like the sweet spot. 6 Gbyte Ram are enough to load even bigger pdfs (like #Pathfinder adventure paths), and the screen is big enough to read one pdf page. The notetaking feature could be cool to prep for sessions.
Also, no app needed, it shows up as an external drive in Linux
Not cheap, true, but it shoul last several years and work great for reading outdoors. If you have a similar first world problem, check it out
