    Seems an interesting way to be able to carry an e-reader in your pocket.

    I have a Kobo, but it's a bit too large to bring all the time with me.

      Not sure hore good this is, but some years ago I bought my wife an Android ebook reader. It was so slow and cumbersome that I got her a Kindle and swore to myself never to touch an Android reader.

        They have become considerably better in recent years, but I understand the hesitation. Once bitten, twice shy, and all that. I will say that my experience with Boox devices has been pretty good, though. As long as you don't expect it to behave like a full-fledged Android tablet. But above all, don't trust strangers on the internet.

      Bro just use your phone. If it's android, use AIReader. Free, incredibly configurable, can read every type of book file. Dark mode, adjustable brightness for reading before bed. It gets so dark that I can't even read the minimum setting in a pitch black room. Best e-reader app I've ever found and I've been using it for probably 10 years now.
