Ask HN: Best device for reading and light writing?
1 point by vitaelabitur 40 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
I want an e-ink display to read books and write my random musings, journal entries, notes.

I'll be able to make good use of it, so I am willing to pay for quality.

Audiobooks support and a browser for reading HN/blogs would be nice to have, but they aren't strict requirements at all.

People seem to like the display on Kobo Libra Color, but I am not sure about the writing experience.

Any suggestions? Thanks



I use a Kindle Scribe. The iPhone can share any .txt, .html, .epub, .PDF content from the web to Kindle App so I can sync on the Kindle Scribe and read offline later.

I read all my Rustdoc and mdBook documentation this way. Even the ones I made.


The writing experience on Kindle Scribe is pretty good as well. I only use it for quick marginal notes and underlines. Sometimes drawing diagrams.

But I used it mostly for reading.


Thanks for sharing, appreciate it.

Would you say it is convenient to use it for writing, say, 500 words at a go?


If you’re good at hand writing, there is no difference between it and a real paper notebook. There are also many notebook templates.
