I'm in the market for a new e-reader and this is attractive even in the elusive price category.
I’d encourage you to look at XTEINK. They kind of started this “baby e-reader” trend and the bonus with their stuff is there’s custom firmware available that makes it SO MUCH easier to use.
Boox has been pretty not-transparent on their intention to support custom firmware and……… I’ve used some of their android based devices. They’re nice, but their attempt at “simple” for an e-ink display leaves a lot to be desired.
This one is Crosspoint compatible already. Must be ESP32-S3?
From what I have heard it is actually running a fork of Crosspoint by default.
Cool, did they bother to make the source available I wonder? MIT so they don't have to, but personally I'd trust the open version more.
That I do not know. I would hope so.
