Cool in theory but I can guarantee you will not enjoy reading books on that thing
This might finally be a use case for folding phones.
many people do, not specifically on this but on other compact handheld e-readers.
Yeah I had a 5 inch one and it’s acceptable if you have nothing else but I just got a kobo and it’s simply night and day
Tho yes there are people who will prefer this but I’m confident the average consumer will not
Tho perhaps the low power notifications or calendaring is useful 🤷♀️
Kobo is fantastic
a lot of tech is designed not for the average consumer but for a specific subset of people who want specific functionality
I did not consider that here. You’re right
A Kobo is a hell of a lot bigger than that.
Phones are tall and narrow. For reading books you don’t want to be reading 5 words then having to go down a line. Ebook readers are typically closer to 4:3
I wasn’t talking about a kobo. I was taking about something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010052351492.html
I’ve also just heard from many people who use devices like this for reading when on the go in the in between time between doing things. It’s a neat little device to have.
Edit: Especially people like me with really clear vision
