I’ve been thinking about getting an e-reader (thinking kobo or boox) and wanted to know if it’s possible to remove unwanted stuff (like the play store) using adb? I plan on just downloading .epub files from annas-archive and ao3, so it would be good if firefox or mull can be installed via .apk.

    I usually buy them on my phone (Kobo app), which is easier with payments. Afterwards the book is immediately available on my e-reader. Started doing this a couple of months back and I like it. You can also preview books, but got no personal experience with that.

      Thanks for the response. Preview, as in a sample that gives you enough of the book to make a judgement on it?

        I checked a few samples, for all there was at least 1 chapter as a preview. But it differs, one also had 3 with around 40 pages. I only counted actual pages, not into, table of contents etc. Hopefully that gives you an idea!
