Kobo announces its first color e-readers
I hope the reason they took so long is that they were waiting on a really good color e-ink screen, but I doubt it. That said, I love my Kobo Sage and my LazyLibrarian + Calibre-web + Kobo Sync workflow, and if you can do the same on these, then they’ll probably be a good buy.
Keep in mind that only one company makes eInk displays. They’re all using the same displays.
Only one company in the entire world makes e ink displays?
Yeah, E Ink is actually a brand. AFAIK there’s no one else producing suitable displays for ereaders at scale.
All the panels used by all Kindle, Nook, Kobo and Boox eReader models are made by Carta.
There might be other companies that make those other kinds of small updatable eink displays used in stores, or the tiny ones on microcontrollers.
Sure. I don’t see how that affects what I said, though?
Any chance you could share your docker-compose.yml for your stack?
I can, but I’m not happy with it. If you containerize this setup, each container needs it’s own Calibre instance and it’s very inefficient. I run it on Proxmox and plan to either package it all in a single Docker image or roll it into my Ansible playbook on a different VM.
If you want pretty good color screen, try the Boox Tab Mini C
