a nonstandard ereader option

[yhlee]

My new fave ereader: mReader on muOS via PortMaster [comes with muOS] on Anbernic RG CubeXX [handheld console, about $100 USD].

Legal DRM-free epub of Steven Erikson's GARDENS OF THE MOON from Tor.com forever ago.

Reading experience is weirdly great given the, uh, nonstandard hardware! :D

Thanks for sharing the links for your ereader! It never would have occurred to me that a gaming console would work. This is pretty cool and it has buttons!

I had no idea either! I was going to use this to play with retro games for PICO-8 and then found out by accident that muOS supports an ereader app! Allegedly you can get a PDF reader for this too although I have to imagine PDFs will be very annoying to read on such a smol screen. :D I'll report back. :D

Instead of "can this run doom", we should try to get every device to display books XD

Right?! I mean, I'm excited about revisiting Doom, but reading epubs!! :D

Weirdly comfortable in my hands too. XD Maybe not optimized as a reading experience but we can't have everything. :)
