Black and White e-ink panel, but no SIM or eSIM, for $280
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.
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.
This looks legitimately nice and I kind of want one. Small e-reader device.
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.
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.
