I have started to read a lot more. Any EU e-book reader you can recommend? (lemmy.world)

Of course I dream of something with feature parity with the US and Eastern alternatives, but I am not interested in color or touch. Mostly care about format support and rendering.

What's the point of a Google Android product build in the EU?

Tech products like an eReader are almost always made in China anyway. Buying a real book would be without American BigTech and Chinese manufacturer

Fair enough, but different people have different needs and preferences. I appreciate being able to read daily papers from all over the world and prefer an e-papers screen over backlit alternatives. There are also books that have gone out of print or are only published electronically. And being able to load thousands of books onto a device weighing a few hg Is a huge plus especially if you travel.

InkBook's OS is based on Android but it's not stock Android so you don't need to link the device to any Google account or such. My library uses Android apps for book lending and newspaper and magazine access digitally so personally my options for library loans is a reader that can sideload Android apps or nothing at all.
