You didn't like the 4C so there was no way the 5C would ever change your mind. A lot of people like the Honda Civic, but I hate how rough it is on pavement. We all have things we like or don't like. Kaleido 3 requires the frontlight to be on to at least 50% brightness for me in all scenarios except

I don't have one of these - and probably won't buy one because I have something somewhat similar in the Viwoods AI Paper Reader - but I love to see more companies in the space, and particularly making compact devices like this. Also, while I generally don't care about AI on these devices and tend to

Thank you very much for your interest and affirmation of our new product! We are thrilled to see that it is well-received. When you carry the AiPaper Reader in your pocket, as long as the device is locked and if you are using a protective case, you should essentially not experience accidental button

I was going to recommend this. I have the Viwoods AiPaper Mini and I love it! It has a really bright screen with front light. It runs Android so you can put whatever reading app you prefer.

I also tried both the Palma 2 and the Viwoods Reader. I ended up returning the Palma 2 and sticking with the Viwoods. I liked the screen better and the overall thinness/size of the device better than the Palma. Biggest downside is no warm light, but I have other ereaders so it wasn’t a dealbreaker f

Women pockets tend to be smaller. I personally wouldn't put my kindle paperwhite in my backpocket. Even the kindle basic and the kobo clara bw are a bit too big to put in pockets, again as a women. If op is looking for ereaders at the 6 inch range, I would also add the boox go 6 in here and the boox

They were a bit more specific in the two emails I got from them and I am also disappointed. First, they replied: We do have a plan to adjust the minimum light of the AiPaper Reader; however, this plan is still under evaluation, and the new version has not yet entered formal production. Therefore, th

If I don’t remember to respond in more detail feel free to reach out. It’s good. I’m used to a ceramic EMR stylus, and I am not going to lie, I like the ceramic more. But I also have some “pom”? “palm”? (just lost all credibility) emr pens and this feels comparable to them. The distance caused by th

I was skeptical such as yourself - very. But there were a couple or reasons I purchased. No (low) risk long return guarantee. (100 days) Best screen on the market (Carta 1300) and one of the very few at the 10" size (I don't believe Onyx currently makes one although it might soon.) Use of Android OS

I went Kindle Paperwhite (11th gen I believe) -> Kobo Clara Colour -> Boox Palma 2 -> Viwoods AI Paper Reader Colour. Kindle is a very open the box and ready to go kind of device, love it but don't necessarily love being tied to Amazon. Kobo is a little more techy, smaller, and lighter. Love it but
