I've watched a couple of anime in this art style. Is there a name for it? It's super realistic but still distinctly animated. Would love to find more!
Kagi is actively funding the Russian government as they use, and pay for, their search provider Yandex. It's not the only one they are using, but it's one of them.
Fastmail is Australia based. They have atrocious privacy laws.
Fastmail is Australia based. Don't they have some of the worst laws regarding government backdoors?
I would set it up like this. Everything you have in Calibre Web, or only on a shared shelf, will show up in your Kobo reader book section and is ready to download.
No plugins or extra software, it just works.

True, having Android on it definitely has advantages. You can read RSS feeds easier, use established note taking tools etc. But it comes with its own set of downsides. It's definitely not pointless!
Regarding battery, sure a week is nice when compared to an iPad or Android tablet. But a dedicated reader running for a month is hard to beat :)
I just looked up the weight of the Boox Note Airs C and it's actually lighter than I remembered. 410g compared to Elipsa 2E at 390g. That's pretty nice.
I don't agree with this. Boox devices are notorious for not getting updates. As they are running on Android, security updates are crucial. But they keep churning out so many devices per year that they usually don't bother to keep existing ones up to date.
In general, I wouldn't recommend an Android device for reading books. They are usually heavier than regular readers like Kobos for example. They also have atrocious battery life. Compared to a regular tablet it might be fine but compared to a dedicated ereader it's usually crap.
Their UI is also not as intuitive and needs some getting used to. But I guess that's subjective.
I think for only reading there is no need to get a full fledged Android device.
Lastly, there is also the fact that it's a Chinese company. People can make of that what they want. Kobo is Canadian, although the parent company, Rakuten, is Japanese.
Hi, nice to meet you. Where are you from? America. Oh, like Mexico or Chile?
It's always fun to see their faces :)
I can't back this up but I highly doubt that the media is played through Plex' server.
