If this had cellular connectivity it could actually be a pretty cool phone. The battery life is probably good too

A phone sized e-reader.... huh πŸ€”. So a phone?

Oh well, at least this keeps someone in a job... I suppose.

Have a friend that got one. They wanted the convenience of android - buy books on any platform you want - but the e ink screen so they are not tempted to mindlessly scroll on the typical websites

I feel like my phone does a tiny bit more than reading

That's my point... Why wouldn't you just get a phone?

Because staring into a non-eInk display will fuck your eyes. You'll start to notice this if you're an avid reader.
