Hey all, ive been looking at ereaders, and have been pretty bummed at the field. I dont really give a shit about note taking, and want a larger display (10 or 11 inches). I dont need any AI on it… The issue is, i cant find a larger display that DOESNT cram in the note taking/ai. I just want a reader. Before you say get a tablet, i realize thats an option, but not one i want to persue. I want the longevity of a eink display.
I dont think this object exists… At least i cant find it. I could be overlooking it, because ive been looking at so many, my algo could have blinded me to other options. But Kindle, Boox, and Kobos options in that size, all add in note taking. Which i could care less about.
I appreciate any input if you all have any!
Why not just buy the boox or kobo offerings in that size and then not buy the pen and ignore the note app? That’s what I did last weekend. Really wanted a kobo but they lacked a color option in that size so went with the boox air 4C.
I also don’t care about the notetaking or AI. I like my Bigme Inknote. I actually wound up using it for math class, but that was kind of a one-off. I got a Bigme S7 after, which is hella portable and also a great e-ink e-reader. Yes, they crashed the AI/notes BS into it too, but I just ignore that.

Note that I didn’t build mine, I bought a Kobo
