+1^ I would also like to know this

A 64 gb sd card inside a phone with great battery life ._.

A 64 gb sd card inside a phone with great battery life ._.

Or inside an e-reader like the Samsung Note Tab 7.0 (which has like 5x the battery life of any current smartphone.)

can ereaders play mp3 files!?

can ereaders play mp3 files!? 

duh.... i mean they are basically just slightly underpowered tablets with larger batteries... (at least the Note Tab 7.0 is, and when it was relevant the nook HD was as well)

[connorpiper]

Other than Hi-Fi ones like this: ($300)

 

I'm guessing it will be hard to find one.

Those are both tablets, rather than E-readers.

or go with a Fiio and dont get the worst interface in the history of things

[Jacona]

The Fiio M3 looks pretty decent, not sure if it's for sale yet.

 

Could always go for the good ole Sansa Clip with Rockbox firmware, though I'm not sure how many of them support 64 GB sd cards.

The Fiio X7 is based on the Sony touch model. Running the same Sony skinned Android.

Define the difference...

 

They are sold and marketed for e-reading.

 

Now that said.... Obviously an e-reader without a headphone jack doesn't have speakers and as such can't be used to play music. Stupid fucking ass kindle paper shit. Worst e-readers on the planet.

not even out....

 

get the x1 it's more than enough for most ppl, reasonable price, plus you can get a 64gb sd card.

iPad has a 10,000 mAh

GUYS

GET THE ZUNE!!!!

like my joke?

E-Readers are specifically designed to read books. Which means they have E-Paper displays. Run a version of a custom OS similar to a PDF reader, and have long battery life.

They are not meant for media consumption other than text and greyscale images. 

The Nook HD runs Android, making it a tablet rather than an E-Reader. If the Nook HD is an E-reader, then the specialized devices for reading do not have a name anymore.

Sansa fuse if you can find one. I think they have a micro sd slot. If used daily for several hours, the damn thing would last a month on a charge. Yes, it has a screen

Really?  I thought they ran a very basic OS just sufficient for loading and flipping through books... didn't know they had come so far.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, you're talking about this: (or something like it)?

That's a fucking idiotic definition. 

 

E-paper displays and custom OS being required....

 

Hell I'd argue that E-paper displays make terrible E-readers because illustrations, and generally locked down against my own library of e-books (legally owned ofc....)

Actually this is more specific to Kindle devices in general. Many less well known e-paper e-readers have the capability to load my library.

 

Furthermore, those lacking the ability to play mp3 files are generally those that also lack text to speech, a pretty damn useful feature for an E-reader (which perhaps surprisingly is a pretty small minority of e-readers). Hell almost all of them allow for web browsing anyways, so why get a locked down piece of hardware?

 

Every single version of Nook (e-paper or otherwise) ran android with it's own skin. (I mention Nook because for ehh about 4 years in what I would call the E-reader hay-day they were a top consideration).

 

The first line was perfectly enough. Look (for comparison) at the hardware powering these E-reader marketed tablets (like Tab 7.0 and the Nook HD in it's day). Lower than normal resolution screens, weaker than mainstream processors, and notably increased battery sizes. Sounds like a fairly specific product, indeed those are the exact same limitations made on e-paper displays (which merely go farther).

The specific subset of E-paper speaker-less E-readers is imho (as you can probably tell above) not worth existing.

 

Now, while this website is out of date, it is amusing to note that all of the ones on these lists with speakers, are capable of playing .mp3 (.mp4 compatibility is more scattered, likely due to age of devices).

TL:DR

Any definition for an E-reader that doesn't include this device is woefully incomplete.

That would make it a cheap tablet. That can read books. E-Readers are specific items.

Yes because a swimmer that can also run can no longer be considered a swimmer...

 

Next thing you know people will be saying if it has a touchscreen that can no longer be considered an E-reader. Because touchscreens dampen battery life too much!

 

E-reader is a reference to a function, one that many (but CRUCIALLY not all) tablet find themselves quite capable of fitting. Furthermore, SPECIFIC tablets make INTENTIONAL trade-offs that make them more suited to that function than the mainstream market puts forth. Trade-offs that often (but not always), make them less capable of doing the general task set set forth by the tablet moniker. How can that NOT be an E-reader...
