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.

    I was looking for a tablet for reading a few monts ago but tablet screens hurt my eyes so I bought a kindle paperwhite I used a burner account to get it working then put it in airplane mode. I sideload every book I read using calibre. Kindle was a pretty significant upgrade over a tablet I would recommend any e-ink display over any other display for reading.

    And btw linux on a touchscreen is not a good idea yet. There are plenty of good book reading software on android so maybe you would want to install a custom android iso.
