Re: Few books are sold in an open format

"As long as they are sold in an open format" AND unemcumbered by DRM crap.

But I'd also want to know 'why android?' (given that Kobo's android implementation isn't a patch on the reader software); 'does it work without a full time connection to Xiaomi?' and 'will it be allowed to load/display random EPUBs?'

btw - I recently discovered Lithium as an android ereader. It seems not to mind how many books are on the device; Kobo refused to load the last few of about 1300...
