   thinking of getting an e-ink tablet/reader ... boox looks like the best option, but i don't love that they continue to violate the gpl and is stuck at android 12 ... does the android version matter that much if I'm not using any google apps/services?

   or are there alternatives to consider? i need something that will let me load software (either from an app store or other) and specifically i want to run Zotero and Obsidian (or another markdown editor)

     @emenel recently I learned about https://daylightcomputer.com/

     Not sure how it fits your use-case, though

     @emenel it seems that daylight has much faster screen (60fps, I believe?) - this is what made it catch my eye

     @kuba it's on my list, but has a few big questionmarks tbh... it's an new company. i don't really see how this is better than boox other than android 13 vs 12, and it's not available until november (earliest). also not sure i love the aesthetics, feels overwrought :)
