I would like to acquire an eBook reader. I see that the #Kobo readers can connect to nextcloud with app #KoboCloud.
Do you use this solution ?
Any advice for Linux users to purchase the right reader: compatibility with Linux, or Nextcloud or ownCloud (no Dropbox neither GDrive for me), able to read non-drm epub and PDF.
Thanks for you help (RT if you think your followers could help)
I have found a cheap old 7" Samsung tablet and I've managed to install a custom ROM. it is upgraded from Android 5 to 7.
Not terrible but it removed all bloat preinstalled apps and permitted to install #KOReader from f-droid.This soft is very good to transfer such devices to eBook reader.
I will wait before buying a #kobo

@adele I use Pocketbooks since 2015 (Touch Lux2, now Era PB700).
The linux os of pocketbook is open, and there are a lot of custom apps available like

where you can directly connect to your nextcloud without any third party service.
There are also other fun tools like:
