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.
Wouldn’t getting something like a Kobo and syncing with Calibre be a much easier/cheaper option?
I do this with older Kindles that I do not sign into. It works great and inexpensive.
Yes but the less freedom respecting since the kobo is non free software, but man is it nice to add a book to a shelf in calibre and it appears on my kobo
