Windows 10: Kindle alternative ? Onyx Boox Note 3 (Android)

Hi folks

I'm looking for something which is still light and small enough to be reasonably portable but with a bigger screen than a Kindle - yet still has great e-reader capabilities - also supports 14 formats natively. One problem with the smaller kindles is that they really aren't great for PDF books !!

I found this : Onyx Boox Note 3 Hands on Review - Good e-Reader

10 - 11 inch screen, runs android and can connect to Windows machines etc -- small enough to be carried around and can even attach a mouse and great it seems for note taking with decent pen system.

Slightly expensive I know but due to Covid travel and visiting restrictions I saved a slew of money in 2020 !!!! so I thought I'd buy myself a late Xmas prezzie. The note system looks also good when on remote video meetings etc and you need to make notes -- often easier than fiddling with ballpoint and paper.

Anybody used one of these ? --This IMO is what a decent tablet should have been at the start !! especially if one can communicate with a not too small screen to remote computer.

Cheers
jimbo

Is the kindle 3 worth it?

I like the kindle ive tried out a buddies works great for reading manga i use the app on my phone to read allot of stuff

calibre - E-book management is your friend it will convert anything to anything

ive used it for the kindle app for android ive converted allot of different formats with almost, no issue 1 book had margin issues which i was able to fix by playing with calibre's options.

i don't see why the actual kindle would be different

Question: a Tablet or a Kindle Fire

A Kindle Fire tablet is an Android customization by Amazon. Most Android tablets are pretty much the same; however, the Kindle Fire is a bit different. Having used both, I prefer the regular Android tablet; however, it's been a long time since I had a Kindle Fire. The ideal size for me would be a 10.1" tablet.

You can install the Kindle app and other e-reader apps onto an Android tablet. I don't know if you can install other e-reader apps on the Kindle.

One other thing you may want to consider is a Windows 10 tablet. Those are almost the same as your Windows 10 laptop, just smaller and have a touchscreen. Again, you can install the Kindle app and possibly other e-reader apps onto a Windows 10 tablet.

And, a third option, according to how large a tablet you may want is a 14" laptop. I have a Lenovo Flex 4 with a touch screen. I have found, though, that I'm not inclined to use the touch screen as much as I thought I would. If you should choose a 14" laptop, do not, and I repeat, do not get one with a 32 GB hard drive. Those are useless for Windows 10. You need at least a 120 GB hard drive, and preferably 240 GB.
