Nice, front light, 3.97", SD Card, Crosspoint compatible, cheap(ish). Lots to like.
Why do I need a slightly smaller, less capable phone to stick on the back of my phone?
I hate that this tech is still so expensive… It has been 20 years, yet an eink phone with the specs of a $30 boost phone is like $300
E-ink is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more battery efficient and more pleasant to read: If you just want to read an ebook, this will let you read for days without charging.
I don’t have one of these but I do have a Kobo Libre and it’s great if you like reading. I charge maybe once or twice a month if that.
reTerminal Sticky is at least marketed as something you can stick on the fridge for groceries, notes, or just play around with any other DIY scenario you can think of. And it has some dev framewrok, for half the price. Not sure what Boox are offering, other than a smaller factor than their other e-readers, same-ish polish, but no Android or diy capability?
I’m in the market for a new e-reader and this is attractive even in the elusive price category.
Why three cameras?
Does it need a camera?
That’s an iPhone…the white rectangle on the bottom is this device
Ah OK
It’s attached to the back of an iPhone in the title picture
I have a boox, and it’s great! I wouldn’t mind having a little one like this that you can basically toss along with you anywhere. Always a few minutes to read a book instead of scrolling.
Looks like the magnet is not buildin. It is attached to the case. Is that different on XTEink devices?
Afaik it is built in. Xteink SE also has USB C and a backlight but it runs android. Currently for sale in China only. Time to see if I want to read actual books first then maybe time to get one of these things 😂
