Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?

I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

  • Anything that runs Android should run KoReader too - which IMO is still the best way to consume Wallabag content.

    I have recently purchased a BOOX tablet with Android 14 and it works great with KoReader. But even my old Mobiscribe 1st gen with Android 7 was doing its job - it was too old for most of the recent Android apps, but KoReader works fine even on ancient Android versions.

  • On a Boox or a Meebook which runs Android you can just install the Wallabag app, but KOReader has good support too. The downsides to the Android readers are that the battery life is worse and the setup a bit more complicated.

    • Thanks yes I was looking at Boox but I really want it to be as not tablet-like as possible, and the battery thing would be a small hurdle for me. Kobo has some nice devices, I wish there was an updated sage as I don't really care about colors.

      • I get you but tbf I'd never want to use my Boox Page as a tablet haha. If you're worried about distractions, I think the e-ink and it's refresh rate will pull one back to reality quite fast. I find it impossible to be distracted by anything on there that's not related to books or manga. But I'm super happy with my Kobo Libra 2 as well. Did you mean that one? They do have Sage in B/W still.
