Advice for Ebook Reader?
by ondoho from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BM35)
Hello,
somebody wants me to gift them an ebook reader.
I never used one myself, but I heard horrible things about some models being completely locked down to the offerings of one company, not possible to use without a wifi connection or account, not possible to copy files to the device etc.
So what's a good one that isn't too locked down?
I'm not trying to force a Linux device on them.
Of course nice hardware/design is also a factor.
TIA.
