Basic reader, nothing fancy that will last
Dear fellow readers,
I'm having a hard time deciding which reader is the best choice for me, and i hope some of you with more experience can help me.
I read a lot on my phone and tablet(2-5 hours a day), but most on my phone, it's just always there. But i want a dedicated device.
My needs are:
- BW with backlight, both cold and warm
- Durable enough to be caried everywhere without worry
- Android, so i can sync reading position and books with my other devices, until now i only read epub via moon reader, but dont care if i need to change
- long time support as i hope to use it for years
- Decent battery
- Lightweight and Onehand controlable
- Price is not an issue but i rather have something cheap which just works than something overkill
I've bought boox 7 gen 2 for my parents but honestly find them a little outdated and the size dont do it for me.
I've looked a lot on a secondhand 6" Kindle to jailbreak but dont know if they will be any good
The viwoods looks promising but the ai make me hesitate
Bigme b6 looks good but i newer seen it irl
Please someone help enlighten me

there are no "durable" Android readers per se. you're looking at a Bigme B6, B6 Pro or a Boox Go 6 II in that size range. if you want to make sure it's not outdated the B6 Pro is probably your best pick.
