I just want to share this resource in case people didn't know it. It describes itself as the world’s largest open-source open-data library. And Includes Sci-Hub, Library Genesis, Z-Library, and more.

Anna's Archive is great. Finding this was a silver lining to the Zlib shutdown. I have it installed to the home screen on my android eink reader and its pretty seamless.

What android eink reader do you have?

[–] d-_-xb@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Also curious about this

[–] milo_bytes@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

alternatively does anyone have any recommendations for such a device if OP doesn't respond? I've been missing e-ink since my kindle got destroyed several years ago

I like my Kobo Libra H2O.

[–] shua_too@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I’ll second Kobo. I replaced my lost kindle with a Kobo Clara 2E and really like it. I think they have an android device, too

I've got an Onyx Boox Leaf2. Pretty happy with it, it's pricier than a kobo or similar, but not too bad.

I was wondering if it was Onyx. I've looked at those and considered them to replace my old Nook...and then the more recent Nooks went on sale.

How long does your battery last on it?

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I couldn't tell you exactly because I generally plug it in when I'm done with it. It's not as long as my old Kobo Nia, which would last weeks. A 3 hour reading session it'll generally drop 10-15%, so I reckon you could probably get a week with daily use. That's with the backlight off but with wifi and bluetooth enabled, you could probably stretch it longer with airplane mode.

Zlib shutting down was like the modern equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria, but for piracy.
