article is hidden behind a paywall, so i can only speak about my experience with a standard ereader.
i love to read and not get distracted by something during that. a regular phone keeps getting me distracted and a e-ink display is way more pleasant to read than a regular screen imo.
the main problem i keep running into is that my regular ereader is too big for most pockets which is the reason i dont have it with me most of the time.
soooo such a small reader would let me read at times and places where i would simply dont do anything at best or doomscroll at worst while i could also judt read a good book.
that being said i dont own such a small ereader and wont buy one because keeping two devices synced while reading a book would be either too much hazzle or simply impossible to do.
The article worked in reader mode for me, sorry you hit a paywall.
I appreciate you mentioning the eink bit. I have an eink kobo which I really like and it’s definitely nicer to use than my phone for reading. I did pick it specifically because I didn’t want one that had other distracting apps or anything, but I used my phone for years without issue.
Not to shill for a product I was just hating on, but it seems like there’s quite an open source community that has popped up around this thing, so it’s possible there’s an app for it that will auto sync with your preexisting ereader, depending on the device. The article mentions Libby by name, but they possibly have others. I’d just be remiss if I didn’t mention that and possibly help a fellow reader out.
