    I thought it was just software for reading the common eBook formats at first, but it’s an actual physical device? That’s cool!

    This would be really exciting, e-ink is so much better for extended reading.

    I still have an old barnes and noble nook that I rooted and put stock android on it. E-ink / Epaper, and an e-reader app. You could probably find a used one for under $40 nowadays.

    Finally a lighter weight successor to the OLPC (one-laptop-per-child), which was previously the only free-software-based hardware e-reader.

      Oh, when the link went in I didn’t see other posts.

      Good question on scale. It looks like it might be normal e-reader size, but I didn’t see a side shot showing how thick it was. And a couple of the pictures make it look fairly thick. It also looks like it had buttons for navigation, I take that to mean to touch screen. I had bought one of the early Sony e-ink readers ages ago. 5-button navigation is slow and painful, touch screen was definitely a jump forward.
