Which brands are generally more piracy-friendly? Do you suggest any specific model? Or maybe there are products that are easily customizable at the OS level? Thanks!

      Yeah my Kobo is great. Plays nicely with Calibre and DeDRM, reads pretty much every eBook format, and doesn’t seem to be sketchy about privacy as far as I can tell.

      I have a Kobo as almost exclusively the only way I read books anymore, and I’ve owned a Sony and a Nook; the Kobo has lasted the longest and I like it best. That said, why do you claim it’s the most privacy friendly?

        Oh I meant “piracy” friendly. Drop books into calibre, plug kobo into laptop, sync calibre to kobo. Boom, 1000 books loaded up and ready to go.

        That said: it’s also very privacy friendly for me, because I’ve literally never connected it to WiFi or any kind of network.

        My daily driver for reading is the Apple Books app on my phone, which syncs to my iCloud Drive containing my calibre library as well. But my kobo is the bomb for travel.
