I'm looking for a phone sized or maybe even sub-phone sized e-ink reader. Something discreet, yes, I don't mind reading 3 words at a time LMAO

Define “dodgy”. I think pretty much all the small (phone form factor or smaller) eInk devices are by some Chinese brand or another, since no one else currently seems to be making anything below 6’’ in the “wider than phone” form factor (like Kindle Basic or Kobo Clara). Boox, BigMe and Viwoods all s

I can never go back to LED

For context, I'm a tech freak an compulsive buyer, so I'm not a good exemple. For 10.3-ish I bought : Viwoods Aipaper (for note taking and productivity) BOOX Note Air 5C(for overall media consumption without too much distractions).

Multiple ereaders

I have two: a kindle paperwhite and a DuRobo Krono. I bought Kindle first, because it was so famous. And I just like the page-turning animation, the best. But I'm not so interested in his system. So I bought the second one, which is a Dutch brand. The design is distinct, and the Android 15 is more a

Ask Me Anything About My E-Ink Tablet Collection

Definitely - I use the P2P but hardly ever use the stylus, so I think there is life in the Palma2. In fact I would prefer to be using the monochrome screen of my Palma but I accidentally broke it :( Not heard any news about a new Boox device other than the recently announced Go 10.3 and Go 10.3 Lumi
