    The main point of the device is to be tiny so you can just have it in your pocket. Hopefully, encouraging you to read more by lowering the barrier to start.

    Though I am sure this device is not meant for everyone.

      I’d say a vast majority of the people that have to wear glasses for reading would absolutely hate this.

        You know I saw that device before and was interested. I think one reason people might like this better is due to the hackability but it sounds like the xteink is fairly hackable too (and probably has better long term support).

        Personally I am still trying to go back to physical books before I try another e-reader.
