Two: Kindle Oasis and Kobo Mini.

The Oasis is used around the house to read for long stretches of time. The Kobo is a throwaway reader I can toss in my backpack or glove box if I’m going out somewhere and want to bring along a book.

But the reality is the only device I have on me all the time is my Samsung smartphone and that’s what I end up reading most on. Dark mode on an OLED display is the next best thing to eInk in my opinion. For this reason, I don’t see a need to own any more than 2 eInk devices.

four - i think. i just got a kindle paperwhite, but somewhere in the house is a prehistoric cybook gen 3, a kindle DX (2nd Generation) and a kindle (2nd Generation).

I've recently moved all my reading onto a Boox Poke2 (Am I alone in liking smaller readers?) and have put my Inkbook and Kindle Paperwhite into semi-retirement.

The lack of backlight on the Inkbook was frustrating, and the Kindle is starting to show its age after my wife's heavy use of it.
There's a variety of ancient readers knocking around somewhere including a Kobo & Cybook, which were probably retired due to them failing.

I'm down a couple as of this past week. Traded two for my new Oasis. I still have a basic Kindle (pre-frontlight model) as a backup, though. So I technically have two.

Yay, darling! New reader

May you enjoy it in good health and may it make you laugh and smile!

As for the question:

I have one. Had two for a couple of month and just like before when I had two, I find it too much of a hassle to update and charge the second reader all the time.

My batty baby! Hello! Yes, I love the new Oasis! I never thought I'd so easily give up my Voyage, but it turned out to be the right decision for me. And it turns out that I even enjoy holding it naked (the Oasis, not me) so I bought a sturdy sleeve for it to live in.

Haven't named it yet. Maybe I'll name it "Alba" after those cute little fuzzball bats that make leaf tents. After all, reading a good book feels like being nestled in my own little tent.

Three. Started off with a Nook, then the Paperwhite and just got the Oasis.

The Oasis is now the designated book/novel reader and the PW for Send to Kindle and Calibre docs and newsfeed.

I checked the Nook for the first time in many years and it still works perfectly. It's from 2011 and doesn't have a front light. I've been keeping it around as a backup in the case something happened to the PW. Now that I have the Oasis, I'm wondering what to do with the Nook. I'm pleasantly surprised it still works well and a part of me thinks it's a shame it's going unused. What can I do with it? I thought about making it a recipe holder but then I have to convert recipes and upload to it...And that's too much work if I can now easily access recipes on my phone and laptop.

Would someone buy it? If not, maybe I should donate it?

Iriver Story Hd for novels and collections.

It can take an sd card, so in theory it can handle a larger library. It doesn't have collections, and it doesn't let me mark books as read, so it's better for a few long novels and collections than a lot of short stories.

Kindle 5 for short stories and reference books. It can't take an sd card. It does have collections, and I can easily update these using Calibre. I can also move books to a "Fict Reading" or "History Reading" as I start them and "to log" or "to cut" as I finish them.

Kindle Dx for pdfs, since I haven't been able to use older tablets and don't want to spend extra on a newer tablet. It has similar weaknesses and strengths to the K5. I really have to pre-process the pdfs for it.

Post your request in the Flea Market Forum and see if anyone is interested in an old device. And then if no one wants it, you should donate it.

Two Oasis (Gen one and two), One Kobo Forma, One Kobo Libra (on the way), B&N Glowlight 3, A paper white somewhere and a older gen Kindle. I’m getting away from the Amazon ecosystem.

Two Kindle fire 7" (5th and 9th gen) with FBReader, NOOK, KIndle App, Overdrive and Chirp installed; Moto G Power with same apps; Chromebook with FBreader (use web based version of other apps). I primarily use FBReader as my goto app for ebook reading since it wil sync across all devices. I fall back to the others when ebook not available as open epub.

Something like that already exists - it's called "tablet".
