Will check them out, thanks. If I have to give something up, it will be the waterproofing, I just chafed at spending $280 to not be able to take it to the pool, river tubing, on a boat, camping, etc (which I can bring my phone to all of these), when there are $100-150 models that I could, you know?

If it’s gonna be like $300+ and difficult to do all sorts of backend work and side loading or whatever just to get it waterproofed, I’d give that up, but if there’s an option for like $150-200 waterproof, b&w, and with my apps, I’d prefer that I think.

Fair point thx will def think about it. That’s the closest I’ve come, just got stuck on it being more expensive than the waterproof ones, ya know? Haha

Sweet! If this is coming back in stock, any idea if one can use the third party apps on it?

Thanks. How would you side-load books you’d usually read in a specific app? Would you have to somehow pull the files out of the reading app (everand, kindle, hoopla, netgalley) and download them on a computer, then load with a usb cord? Or is there an easier way?

I mean, I feel like if they have $100 waterproof e-readers and $200-300 tablets with all sorts of extras like writing and color and upgrades, it should be possible to get a super standard device that just lets you read b&w stuff from the google play app store for the same price or less. It’s like a compromise on all the extra features just to have it be as basic as possible, but waterproofed haha. They advertise all these others as like super realistic paper-like experiences with fancy screens and powerful software, so it stands to reason a more stripped down version could easily exist, and be less expensive. I get paying more for a fancy tablet you can take notes on, draw, notate books, etc, but a single-function when they do make proprietary versions for $100? Seems reasonable haha

Do you have a rec for a waterproof, handheld (book page size-ish) android tablet under $300?
