Black and White e-ink panel, but no SIM or eSIM, for $280
That seems super expensive for what it is or are e-paper devices just that expensive?
Not at all. There are quite a few cheap e-readers out there. I’ve had the pleasure of owning a few, and I’m afraid I never wished Android would run on one.
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.
Yup, I have an Onyx Boox Poke3 and it has the full Play Store, you can install any app you want
Looking at this, are there other small e-readers? I really just like the no distraction and the e-ink screens.
They’re barely available in the US. A lot of times it’s through resellers like goodereader.
There’s one that is only partially translated to English, so even after changing the options, there are still menu options that show up in Chinese.
I guess my point is, if AliExpress ships to the Philippines, that’s about as good as you’ll find anywhere.
This looks legitimately nice and I kind of want one. Small e-reader device.
That could be a nice, mostly distraction-free “phone” for work to read my emails, check my calendar, send chat, etc
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.
