Ask HN: Best offline-only eBook reader?

18 points by dusted - 336 Days, 22 Hours ago Hacker News

During a hike, I crushed the screen of my Kobo Aura HD, a device which I've used and loved for many years. It's never been connected to the Internet, and it's never given me any grief about it.

I want a new device but I'm afraid to simply buy a device in 2024 and expect it to work without access to the Internet.

I don't want, not even once, to have to connect the device to the Internet.

Can anyone recommend an ebook reader that will work without ever being put online ?

It must have e-ink screen and be suitable primarily for reading books.
