In regards to the tablet, I’m thinking about buying an Amazon Fire HD 8 though I’m open to any and all recommendations.
As for the distro, I’m fine with Ubuntu or Linux Mint (or for that matter anything that you may recommend).
For the ebook reading software, I’m leaning towards using Foliate since it supports kindle, epub, and pdf formats, not to mention that the UI is great and intuitive.
They’re a little pricey (particularly the first party accessories) but the remarkable tablets run Linux out of the box.
Glad to hear the tables are remarkable, but how are we supposed to find them if we don’t know what they’re called? /j
