I'm still steaming through a book a month on the little monster. Battery lasts forever, the screen reads great...

The ReLaunch rom for it is quite nice to work with, I can access my server with books using Total Commander and SSH, AlReader is quite adjustable (if not updated for Android 2.1 since forever, of course)... I even downloaded a couple of custom eReader fonts for it, Using Bookerly, now.

I just wish some apps were still updated for it. But then that's the bleeding-edge software lover in me talking, it actually works fine and doesn't need any updates.

I have a Nook First Edition and still use it occasionally.

I think that's still a more modern device than the Simple Touch! Looks nice!

Still using mine as well. I used to browse Reddit and RSS feeds on it, but have gone back to just using it as an e-reader. I am planning to give that text game emulator a spin. I use ReLaunch, but I'm still on the system reader. How is AlReader? Is it worth the switch?

I really like it, it has a good bunch of configuration options which is something I always really appreciate.

I haven't heard of this text game emulator, what is that?

[–] HovringSquidworld97A 2 points 1 year ago

It is called nookZax. According to the readme it re-implements the interpreter used on Zax hardware for text games. Honestly I need to look into more of this myself, as I've never dealt with software that old directly.
