Anna's Archive is great. Finding this was a silver lining to the Zlib shutdown. I have it installed to the home screen on my android eink reader and its pretty seamless.
What android eink reader do you have?
Also curious about this
I've got an Onyx Boox Leaf2. Pretty happy with it, it's pricier than a kobo or similar, but not too bad.
I was wondering if it was Onyx. I've looked at those and considered them to replace my old Nook...and then the more recent Nooks went on sale.
How long does your battery last on it?
I couldn't tell you exactly because I generally plug it in when I'm done with it. It's not as long as my old Kobo Nia, which would last weeks. A 3 hour reading session it'll generally drop 10-15%, so I reckon you could probably get a week with daily use. That's with the backlight off but with wifi and bluetooth enabled, you could probably stretch it longer with airplane mode.
alternatively does anyone have any recommendations for such a device if OP doesn't respond? I've been missing e-ink since my kindle got destroyed several years ago
I like my Kobo Libra H2O.
I’ll second Kobo. I replaced my lost kindle with a Kobo Clara 2E and really like it. I think they have an android device, too
Zlib shutting down was like the modern equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria, but for piracy.
I know about it. It was just a joke. But good write up
No need to apologize for it!
Really interesting! I had a vague idea of the truth of it, any chance you have a source or reccomendation on where to learn more about it?
Wasn't it still accesible through tor?
For some time yeah, but then the entire site became unreachable.
It's still reachable today, especially if you had an account on it before.
