I had a Kindle and quite liked it, but I also have an iPad and when the Kindle died I decided I didn’t need two devices in that form factor even though eink is great for the beach.
I would consider buying another eink device, but only if the price came down a lot. The market is still fairly small for eink, so there hasn’t really been much economy of scale. I just looked it up and apparently eink still costs 5-10x more than LCD to manufacture.
This Boox device would have to be closer to $50 (and not $200) to tempt me to add yet another gadget to my collection.
I just bought one. I want the form factor, not for reading long form ebooks.
Out the door with a case and screen covers it was about $120 USD. We shall see how it all goes.
Actually seems like a really cool product, not sure if it would be that useful for any serious reading due to the small size but probably useful for displaying a calendar and other widgets.
