  I really don’t understand the hype of that product. It’s like an entrepreneur with social media marketing skills came across a container full of really cheap small eink displays, then designed a product and marketing around it.

    The reason it's trending right now is because it's a convenient price, simple to use and making people read more because of its size. If it helps people cut down on phone use then it's a good product. The build quality could be better, but there doesn't exist a similar product with better build quality. Can you build a DIY version that's significantly cheaper? Well, this was my thinking for getting one, we shall see when it arrives :P Edit: Also you can choose to install a nice open source community firmware

      Couldn't you say all of that about the Kindle as well? Which also has an easy way to buy books.
