Hi guys, Does anyone here know what could be a good libre equivalent to Amazon’s Kindle reader?

    If you’re reading DRM-free ebooks on an android device, Librera Reader is available on f-droid and it works well. I have been using it for several years and it has many more customization options than Kindle does. There are several ebook readers available for Linux. I use the one that comes with Calibre, but there are a few that are lighter on system resources. If you’re looking for an e-ink device with FOSS elements, you may want to keep an eye on the PineNote as it develops, as noted by other posts.

    Calibre can easily shift the format of DRM-free ebooks. If you have an epub, it can make it a mobi or azw3 file. A fun option is to convert a copy of your ebooks into txt format. Then you can read your books in less or in your favorite text editor! Before you know it, you’ll be reading multiple books simultaneously in tmux over ssh!
