I've never touched the OS, but I've had four generations of Barnes & Noble Nook e-ink devices. I add a launcher via ADB and then can install any Android software. I usually only use them for AnkiDroid.

That sounds cool. Perfect hardware for the task. I’d love to see a video of it. I checked on youtube but didn’t find one.

(I used to run flashcards on a Palm Pilot back in the days. The app was called SuperMemo.)

  • The first versions of Anki used the SuperMemo algorithm if I'm not mistaken.

    I've actually since graduated to a 10.3" Boox E-ink tablet. It's too big for AnkiDroid or book reading, but it is terrific for note taking during meetings or lectures, reading and annotating technical documentation, calendar management, and web browsing. My next gift to self will either be a Tesla Roadster or a 7" E-ink device for AnkiDroid and books!

    • Haha. Well, you might be able to run flashcards in your Tesla. I once made an app to read books in a Tesla using text to speech. Gotta do something against the boredom once the thing drives itself! :)
