    The Kindle system becomes more closed, so these devices are useless for note taking as it is hard to sync or work on across platforms.

        Or a Lenovo M11 with pen since that's only $229 atm.

      • I didnt neg you but i see this device as a complementary device, not a replacement of a traditional ipad/android tablet

    • whats the alternative?

          Looks good but dang ~$749 price tag hurts

        • $5 a month to connect to your preferred cloud service? No thanks.

      • Any Android based reader with bug screen:
        I really like my Lenovo Smart Paper (would buy one more for sub-300), or (unfortunately more expensive) Onyx boox
        or maybe Supernote

      or a detachable battery!

  • I have been looking at similar thing. Looks like boox go color 7 2 is good. Still kinda expensive tho.. Anything ard 250$?

      Anything ard 250$?

      prob not for a few more years, not a huge amount of interest in this market and limited competitors mean the options on the market can still charge big money.

      Not with 7" eInk or Colour eInk, except for perhaps the Clara/Libra, and you'd be looking at 6" in the price bracket.

      Boox has a GPU to handle the refresh - and the colour layers are nice to have - if you understand the limitations i.e. Colour is 150ppi, text is 300ppi. So you get a rough colour image on top of text.

      Generally, eInk is not popular enough to get bulk pricing, and the larger the screen, the higher the price jumps. Hence why they added the stylus layer to justify the price jump on the Kindle Paperwhite to Kindle Scribe.

      Kindle's are sort of subsidised (arguably) as is the Kobo.
