- paxys 7y agoLooks neat, but $500? Yikes.
- jborichevskiy 7y agoYep, definitely a bit steep. I saved a little ($~100?) by going for the refurbished model though.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoHow is that expensive ? Unless you expect to only use it very rarely ?
- paxys 7y agoWhile the writing feature may be good, it offers a very tiny subset of overall functionality than an iPad while being the same price.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoLack of color e-ink (even if only in 4 tones) is probably the only thing that is keeping me from ditching using lots and lots of paper. Can't wait for one, even if it's much more expensive than an iPad (which, BTW, always seemed to be a toy to me, but I hear that they got better...)
- ChuckMcM 7y agoI would second this, its pricey at $600 (on sale for $500) but it does read well. My first 'ereader' type device was the iRex Iliad and it had similar features. I had really hoped that Plastic Logic would meet the need for an affordable and durable e-ink screen but they augured into the ground[1] based on their own hubris. [1] Yes, there is a shell out there that owns the rights but the original effort/team was killed by shooting too high and flaming out.
- merqurio 7y agoI love the hardware and they provide you root access. I really didn't like their software for document sync, but I installed syncthing and it works like a charm. Next step for me is to replace their document reader.
