Those were something, weren't they? I thought it was the coolest thing ever as a kid, just the absolute peak of technology.
And in hindsight... Yeah, it was a pretty comfortable way to play videos and music, wasn't it? And the click wheel iPods even had a surprisingly decent selection of games.
While I'm here, whatever happened to those Kindle e-readers with the physical page turn buttons and keyboard? I kinda feel like they stopped selling those, but I feel like that was kind of preferable to a touch screen, too.
I guess just in general I don't like touch screens and it'll be a good day when they stop being integrated into things that don't actually need them. I'm out here thinking that flip phones beat smartphones still
An open source e-reader with physical page turning buttons? Do go on.
Yeah I have a kobo, like the other guy said
There’s one in development that I’m considering building, it’s called the Open Book and here’s the project page https://theopenbook.is/
I think the mainstream option is probably a Kobo Libra with something like KoReader installed.
