Hi, everyone. 👋

I’d like to move a few of my books from Amazon kindle app to an open source reader before closing the Amazon account. Preferably, I’d like moving to a European -based servive.

Curious about what my options would be? What is the procedure like? 🤷‍♂️

    What open source reader are you using? I’d love an open source device to replace my Kobo, but the only option I ever found when I looked was basically to use an Android app, and that’s not really what I hoped for.

      (Not OP)

      I think Kobo is not too closed, is it? Not saying it’s open source, but not hard to install KoReader or other stuff it may support.

      I have a PocketBook reader, more specifically a pocketbook touch hd 3.

      When plugged into a pc the thing seems open source but I am not sure if everything it runs is visible there. Installing KoReader on by device was just a matter of copying 2 folders to specific places in the existing hierarchy, and not a single file replaced a previously existing one.

      This is an older device, I hope newer ones are still as open as this one seems to be.

      I don’t expect to need to buy another e-reader anytime soon but Kobo would be on my radar if I would.

      What is wrong with yours?
