Washington Post: Americans waste $10 billion each year on name-brand ink. So we tested low-cost options including remanufactured cartridges, ink injection kits — and even making our own.

My advice: get a mono laser printer. Printing is handy but relatively infrequent for a lot of people these days. If that's your use case, mono laser is the way to go. Toner does not dry out or go bad.

No, you're right! But it's only possible for epub/mobi and txt files.

Pdfs can be zoomed into, but then you need to scroll around the page and it starts feeling rather like you're looking at the paper through a keyhole. I tried converting pdf to epub, but the formatting/page layout of the original matters and it doesn't translate well.
