 Devices that are primarily meant to read digital books. These will mostly feature "E-Ink" screens, although this is not a guarantee for an E-Book reader. Despite that, they have been included under "E-Ink devices" due to this expectation. For architectures and OSes, E-Book readers typically feature some ARM chip that runs a variant of Linux or Android.

 The kernel on this is mainlined, although it is claimed to be “much less useful” upon running postmarketOS. Still, it works.

+Unlike the Glo below, the Clara properly runs Linux, has a complete kernel mainlining, and has many functions already working, such as USB OTG, WiFi, touchscreen, and so on. It can be safely assumed that postmarketOS runs well on these. This entry also counts for Tolino Shine 3 devices, which are nearly identical to the Clara HD.

 Apparently, a lot of progress has been made in the name of mainlining the Linux kernel port to these. Function of postmarketOS itself is unknown, but appears to be preliminary.
