    I have a Boox Nova Air that I use KOReader on. It was the best basic android option that offered an ~8in 300ppi model when I was looking to buy.

    I’m not a particular fan of Boox and their disregard for the GPL but their hardware is nice and runs the apps I wanted to use. I think I paid ~$160 or so for the device used on fleaBay and I have no complaints. Most of the other models I’ve tried were so underpowered that they were annoying to use, this one has been just right.

      Yeah Booxs’ are nice because they run Android. Gives a lot of freedom.
