Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don’t last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I’m interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.

recommendations?

    I wonder what the link is between bigger files and energy consumption. I mean, I can think of higher processing but then I have to just assume higher processing means higher power, but can’t figure out how.

      Yeah, I figured it would be related to processing power too… I think the book I had in mind had quite a few pictures and if they were high quality then that would explain the power draw… maybe? I’m skeptical it would be so power hungry if it was just text. I should do some actual testing.
