finally finished uploading my 750 or so ebooks to my e-paper tablet.. The hard part was going through and categorizing all of them. Cool to see though after a full day of constant use it is only at half battery. That includes with the backlight and wifi on.

@freemo what device do you have?
@bonifartius I went with the Tab Ultra C Pro by BOOX / Onyx. It is one of only a few color e-ink tablets to choose from, particularly when you want a full android 12 option.
I've been looking at Onyx Boox for when this Kindle finally gives out, thanks for the endorsement.
And no, I didn't buy the Kindle, somebody I know dropped theirs and messed up the finish and got a free replacement from Amazon. Amazon had them keep the old one and they gave me the old one. Still works fine many years later. I just use it with USB and Calibre, no wifi.
I've really gotta organise my ebooks in Calibre. With 429 of em might be a while though, lol.
If you just want an ereader its overpriced.
Also keep in mind the digitizer has noticable lag on non-boox note/drawing apps.
Other than those two issues im happy with this one so far and my last one (already listed my issues with my last one which was first gen and fairly old by now)
I was looking at them for the ability to draw on the ebook too. Just a basic highlight function isn't enough in many cases, especially when it comes to reference material. Or sometimes I want to call something out temporarily with a circle or an arrow, that kind of thing.
I havent played with that feature myself but im pretty sure its supported. I can double check for ya if you decide your interested.
I use mine mostly as just an ebook reader and i dont really even highlight textbooks too often.
That said i do intend to do some minor productivity stuff like writing and emails (which is why i bought the keyboard case).

It is, when I was originally looking into them I found this video. He writes on the document around the 3 min mark
