Ereader + moonreader compatibility (self.ereader_community)

Heyo all!

I'm kind of in the market for an ereader. I've been primarily reading books on my phone with moon+ reader. While the application is very nice, I think for my pre-sleep routine I'd prefer a dedicated ereader.

Are there any devices that can either

possibly sync my reading position with moon+ reader
have a comparable application on Android that can sync reading positions

Not looking to read exclusively on an ereader (sometimes the phone is just convenient). Thanks in advance!

Boox devices can run Moon+ but it's not great on an eink screen.

KOReader can sync reading position across multiple devices with the progress sync plugin but you need to handle syncing actual book files to each device yourself. That's easy enough with one of the many android file sync apps though.

Oooo thanks for the details!!

I'm definitely looking at kobo readers now. Do you have any handy links handy for posterity/future people looking for ereaders? Otherwise I'll go looking for write ups on how to set this up before I pull the trigger

Unfortunately I don't, I had to trawl through most of the ereader subreddits to get the lay of the land. I ended up buying a Boox device personally, I wanted faster hardware than the other dedicated e-readers were offering and that was the best option at the time.

I can recommend the Boox Nova Air v1 if you're looking for an ~8in KOReader platform, I've been pretty happy with mine. I don't really use the built in apps much, just KOReader and my sync app to sync with a B2 cloud storage bucket. At the time this was best 8in 300ppi Android option available.
