Hoopla on e-readers?

Do any non-backlight e-reader support hoopla?

From my basic searching, it looks like Amazon Kindle does not. Amazon Fire does but I find the backlight on that (and other tablets) migraine-inducing after even a moderate session. Alternately, is there a way to get Hoopla books onto a Kindle?

As far as I know, the only way to use Hoopla is with a computer or a "real" tablet that runs Android or iOS. They don't provide any way to export books to dedicated e-reader devices.

It sounds like what you're looking for is an Android tablet with an e-ink screen, such as the ONYX BOOX series. Apparently people have had success running the Hoopla app on their devices.

When it comes to eReaders and tablets and such, Goodereader is my go to site for news, reviews and the like.
A search for Hoopla pretty much confirms what @teraflop mentions, but it may be worth digging into the site for the Onyx Boox information.

I use Calibre to convert epubs and load them onto my kindle. It’s free and pretty straightforward, but you do need a computer to be the intermediary.
