Boxer Gervonta 'Tank' Davis jailed in Florida on domestic violence, battery charges
Gervonta "Tank" Davis was arrested on battery and domestic violence charges, Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation records show. The professional boxer was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Florida Friday, the records say. A bond amount has yet to be set. The arrest marks the latest chapter in Davis' legal troubles. He was placed under house arrest in June 2023 after he entered a guilty plea in a hit-and-run crash that left four people injured in November 2020. Davis later violated the terms of his sentence and was jailed for the remainder of his sentence. According to police, Davis and the alleged victim were in a romantic relationship for several years and share two children. According to the report, Davis arrived at his ex-girlfriend's home with the intention of picking up their children. However, an argument ensued. Davis reportedly instructed the unnamed woman to remove the children from his vehicle and said he no longer intended to take them with him. The dispute eventually escalated into a physical altercation, according to police. Authorities said Davis refused to fill out a Miranda warning form once he arrived at a police department Friday. Davis had a 30-0 record until his bout against Lamont Roach Jr. ended in a draw. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The Best E-Readers and Kindle Alternatives
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. It's no secret that the movies, music, and books you purchase online aren't really owned by you, and book lovers got a stark reminder of that when news broke that Amazon was killing off the ability to download books from Kindle to desktop. The feature shuts down after Feb. 26, and while it's still possible to save books over WiFi, Amazon killing the download via USB feature makes it much harder for readers to change file types if they want to, for example, read a Kindle book on a non-Kindle device. More from Rolling Stone How to Watch 'Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke' With A Little Funk and Sole: Here's How You Can Get the Limited Edition Dr. Martens x BT21 Collection Online Where to Buy Last-Minute Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach Jr. Tickets Digital content may only be licensed, but it's understandable for consumers to expect, at the very least, reliable access to the stuff they paid money for. Amazon removing this feature makes it that much trickier to control the content you bought and paid for, given that Amazon can potentially remove ebooks from users' Kindle libraries. It's not a hypothetical, either. In 2009, Amazon deleted George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm because of copyright issues. Pulling an unlicensed title from the store is one thing, but Amazon deleted the books from the devices of people who already purchased them (if only there was an author who warned about that kind of thing). Kindle books are saved on a proprietary format which only works on Kindles. Most other e-readers use a format called ePub. If you're looking for an alternative to buying books on Amazon, but still want to use your Kindle, Amazon's Send to Kindle format can convert ePub files to be read on Kindle. Beyond formatting issues, it's important to note that many books have DRM restrictions, which limits the ability to share between devices. That means that while launched an ebook platform, there are limitations to the ability to read Bookshop's ePub files on an e-reader. While Kindle dominates the e-reader market, they're not the only option, and if you'd prefer to go around Amazon's increasingly walled-off ebook ecosystem, there are a handful of options to choose from. For transferring books, many e-reader fans use Calibre to convert file types, though it's important to note that DRM restrictions can come into play. If you're looking to make the switch, here are a few non-Kindle e-reader options to consider. BEST OVERALL $139.99 Buy Now at target Buy Now at walmart Kobo supports the ePub format, and makes a variety of e-readers at different price points, including color versions and note-taking versions. Kobo also lets users borrow books from the library using Libby or Overdrive. Kobo e-readers also have clear, easily legible screens with minimal ghosting, and users can play around with the warmth and brightness for comfortable reading in a variety of settings. Plus, if you read a lot of articles, Kobo has long supported Pocket for easy offline reading. The Kobo Clara Colour is waterproof and travel-friendly, and you can listen to audiobooks from the Kobo store. You can sideload ePub and PDF files from your computer, although DRM-protected files can't be legally sideloaded. The Clara Colour has 16GB of storage, which is less than some options, but still enough for up to 12,000 ebooks. BEST ALTERNATIVE $199.99 Buy Now at barnes&noble Nook is manufactured by Barnes & Noble and supports ePub. Unsurprisingly, Nook makes it easy to buy books directly from Barnes & Noble, though borrowing books from the library is more difficult. The Nook Glowlight 4 supports Bluetooth for listening to audiobooks, and it also has a waterproof rating of IPX7 for worry-free beach reading. It supports sideloading and ePub and PDF formats, and there are over 2 million titles that are either free or under $5.

The library supports a variety of formats, including ePub, and you can access files through apps like Google Drive and Dropbox. The catch with Boox is that they're not as widely available and they're pricier, but if you want a powerful, portable e-ink device, Boox is worth considering.
