    I’ve bought a few of these bundles but could never get into reading the science or tech books on my small laptop. And they are useless on a phone. They might be best on a big desktop monitor, especially in portrait orientation. I have an easier time with narrative ebooks. History, fiction, etc.

    Some of the books in the bundle do look good.

      I know the feeling. eInk finally solved that for me.

      If you’re in the market for an e-Ink device that’s not locked down, I’m a fan of the Boox series. I don’t trust their proprietary services, but they work great stand-alone with a home NAS.
