Looking for privacy on an E-ink reader

I appreciate your reply!

What’s the best way to create an offline device???

For me, it’s as simple as never connecting it to WiFi. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I wish it was this easy but literally every company seems to be pushing cloud functionality as a core advantage to their apps…

I’d love to buy a hardware ebook reader device that only functioned as an offline device. I feel like I need to time travel back to the 1990’s to get this kind of feature set… :worried::worried::worried:

This is why before buying, consider if all of your needs might be filled without ever connection to the Internet.
With the right reader, might definitely be more than enough sticking to offline-only. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:


What do you feel is missing if not connecting online?
Dictionary? Sync?

To be honest I have no need for a dictionary or any online syncing features. I still can’t find a device that works exclusively offline…

The other thing that scares me a great deal is storing ebooks in the cloud and then having those ebooks changed in some way by the cloud company that’s hosting the ebooks.

This happens all the time:
" Ebooks can be altered by hosting companies or distributors , often without the author’s or reader’s knowledge, because digital content is typically licensed rather than owned. Platforms like Amazon Kindle and Google Play Books have the technical and legal ability to retroactively modify or delete ebooks from users’ libraries, as seen in cases involving works by Agatha Christie and R.L. Stine , where offensive content was edited post-publication."
