      E-ink is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more battery efficient and more pleasant to read: If you just want to read an ebook, this will let you read for days without charging.

      I don’t have one of these but I do have a Kobo Libre and it’s great if you like reading. I charge maybe once or twice a month if that.

      I hate that this tech is still so expensive… It has been 20 years, yet an eink phone with the specs of a $30 boost phone is like $300

      reTerminal Sticky is at least marketed as something you can stick on the fridge for groceries, notes, or just play around with any other DIY scenario you can think of. And it has some dev framewrok, for half the price. Not sure what Boox are offering, other than a smaller factor than their other e-readers, same-ish polish, but no Android or diy capability?
