      If I had to buy an ereader I would buy something that is native android but my pw3 had been passed to me from my grandmother, which I cherish the device but I care deeply about privacy and freedom so hackdroid is a great middle ground.

        As much as I love Android, it’s not for the privacy conscious, unless you can degoogle.

          Even without google, it’s a security nightmare. Which makes it a privacy nightmare.

          I don’t have gaps on my kindle. And even has limited system apps as it needs to be light for the hardware

      Been using Boox Poke 5 for more than a year. Really happy with it.

      Latest android update added quick share which is much better than bluetooth to transfer my epub and other files

        Yeah I really enjoy my Tab Ultra C as well. How does quickshare work?

          Enable quick share to receive from everyone (if using different google account) in receiver side, this should be there in quick setting from swipe down (if not there, maybe it’s hidden, try to find it in edit setting). And then on sender when sharing, just use quick share. It will then show nearest devices.

          Afaik, it will use wifi to transfer the file, so it’s much faster than simple Bluetooth

            What does google have to do with local share?

            Use KDE Connect

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.
