Black and White e-ink panel, but no SIM or eSIM, for $280
I just really want a colour e-reader for comics
Boox have a color Android e-reader too, and I run Tachiyomi on it, and it’s awesome reading manga and comics on it. And because it’s Android, I can still use Kindle and other platforms to get legit books, without having to buy or invest into a single proprietary e-reader platform.
As someone that has longed for an e-inked e-reader in the shape and size of a phone, this is nearly perfect for me. All other e-readers are just too big to put in my purse, or annoying to hold (I got small hands) I just wish they didn’t bother adding a camera on there back. What’s the point in that?
Since it runs Android, my Moon+ Reader Pro app should run on it right? F-Droid as well? Cause if so, this is going on my Christmas list.
I believe their other readers work with moon+ reader and other apps. I was debating getting one of the color ones and if you can deal with the slow refresh rate of eink and some apps not being optimized with page flashes etc, then it’s a good choice. Also interested in this as a beach “phone” to be able to easily bring it when it’s super bright out and have a readable display.
That could be a nice, mostly distraction-free “phone” for work to read my emails, check my calendar, send chat, etc
No SIM, not even e-SIM could be a problem.
I have WiFi access in the office and at home, good enough for work.
Nice! But it won’t be a full fledged phone replacement for most people because of using the phone (such as for GPS/music/podcasts) in the car where there is no wifi access.
