Recommend a modern e-reader

Question

Electronic books

Now I'm reading from iPad mini. But a huge disadvantage of the tablet is the inability to read in the sun.
So I thought about buying an e-reader. What is the latest generation of e-ink displays? How comfortable is it to read literature on programming?
Which device should you pay attention to?

What about the Kindle Paperwhite? The only negative is the lack of a Russian keyboard, as I understand it, but it supports the Cyrillic alphabet.

Answer 1

Kindle, of course. The price/quality ratio is the best.
You will hardly see the English menu there - all the menus are there - this is the choice of books, reading books and settings that you do once in the life of the device.
But the only minus of it is that it does not understand fb2. However, libraries have learned how to convert books into mobi.

Answer 2

I read with Pocketbook Touch 622. As a multi-format reader - the best.
For the good 8 years that I have been reading with e-ink, I have tried a lot.
Kindle (like Nook) subjectively loses to Pocketbook in terms of convenience and multiformatness, and their screens are identical.

Answer 3

For 3 months, every day, for about 1-1.5 hours, I spend reading literature with the Kindle Paperwhite. I confirm that reading books in his native MOBI format is very convenient. Fiction, comics - perfectly swallowed with a bang. However, it is very rare when you come across literature on computer topics (programming languages, etc.) that could be normally converted into MOBI. The source should be best in EPUB, but most of the time it's still PDF.
And this is where the comments begin. Yes, the Kindle displays PDF, but fitting an A4 onto a 6-inch e-ink display is a real, but almost unreadable, task. And then you start cutting the original PDF at least in half: www.pdfscissors.comBut even then, the quality is very lame, or you need to adapt to the display features (small text). In general, I try not to read PDF on Kindle. Maybe I don’t know how to cook them ...
But when you surf and see an interesting article, in the same MSDN or Habré, then using native add-ons for Firefox or Chrome, you can easily send either the entire article or the selected text to the Kindle. Very convenient, I agree.
In general, the choice is yours. If 90% of the literature is PDF, I personally would consider buying a very budget but still tablet.
Enjoy the shopping!

Answer 4

I own a Kindle Paperwhite. Everything is fine with Cyrillic, books are convertible to mobi, there is no Russian keyboard, but you can cut it (but why?), everything is perfectly visible both in the sun and in the dark, programming books can be read, but not convenient, because you need to scroll, especially if it's all there in the examples.

Answer 5

Sony PRS-T1-T2 with jailbreak firmware, Android is installed there, so you can install all kinds of readers.

Answer 6

I highly recommend Kindle - an excellent reader, despite the lack of fb2, which, by the way, is solved by third-party software, but is, so to speak, a supported configuration. Yes, and converting to mobi on your own does not take time, effort, or specific knowledge. As for books on programming, I won’t say, because I haven’t read it, but in general it’s very comfortable to read technical literature, especially in pdf. Must have, in general.

Answer 7

I have been using Nook for the third year, I highly recommend it.
The only thing is that I reflashed my Nuk and only then did it get a Russian keyboard and fb2 support.

Answer 8

I have been using Kindle Paperwhite for 3 months, ordered from Japanese Amazon (lower price and no ads).
I mostly read art and articles from sites through the Send-2-Kindle service (there are plugins for the browser). I didn’t install any hacks, I use it as is, everything suits me.
IMHO, PDF A4 is still better to read on a tablet.

Answer 10

Kindle Paperwhite (KPW) - good, Nook (NSTwGL) -
I read just as well with Digma s602 - because of the price, but it is without backlight, Wi-Fi and not touchscreen

Answer 11

Why can't you buy a matte anti-reflective film for 5 bucks?
Reminds me of the old joke about a pencil from the USSR and a million dollar pen from the US in space
