I wanna buy an ebook reader but i don't want any amazon or other companies shit in there, just something i can connect to my pc, pass ebooks in different formats into it and read.

I have a Remarkable 2 as well that I love. But I also have an old Sony PRS-500 that is still kicking along and takes ePubs without any problems.

Does the Remarkable do stuff if you touch the screen with your fingers? Or can I make it not do that, and only react to the pen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It does react to finger input, but it really shines with the pen. I'm not sure it is really worth it without the pen if I'm honest.
