I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

There were already multiple such devices from competitors on the market last year.

Personal fazit: they lose in almost every area against a cheap tablet.

Except for the screen

Especially the screen, unless your only plans for the device involve lots and lots of static text. eInk has improved tremendously over recent years, but it still has a long way to go before it starts replacing LCDs and OLEDs.

I really don’t think it’s even trying to fill the same niche. No eReader is attempting to sell you Netflix. It’s just an entirely different device.

There too. Low contrast and less bright than b/w e-paper and still suck more power. AMOLED is better for the eyes, even though it glows.
