A lot of people wish it had a sim and could replace a phone. I, on the other hand, wish it were more like a regular ereader, however powerful and open to apps for reading from multiple stores. I could easily do without audio, camera, WhatsApp, etc, especially if it were half the price.

Way way way too expensive for a unit with NO SIM functionality. It's a really expensive e-reader from what I can tell lad. Thanks for the great review.

IMO, id disagree. BOOX probably has some of the best E-ink displays available that can be reasonably be afforded, and it has the ability to run most e-book apps and can browse the web unlike a kindle or other similar device.

Very true but that device is almost twice the price point than the unit reviewed here. Also,, the Hisense has absolutely insane specs in comparison. The only similarity is the tech in their respective screens. It's kind of like, ya, both cars have wheels but which one do you want, the Ferrari or the Hyundai? Your call.

On my last alt style trip I rolled with a flip phone and a price performance Moto G with no sim installed. (camera, gps, hotel rest day email) Is the Boox trying to be an e-reader with a nice camera and GPS or a long battery life micro tablet? It just seems tiny for an e-reader. "No sim" instantly cuts the size of its target market.
@TheThinkInstitute 2 ай бұрын
Sometimes it seems like, by trying to simplify tech use, it's necessary to multiply devices and actually complicate one's tech life. I.e., someone gets a dumb phone, but then has to carry around a separate camera and a separate gaming console. What would you say to this objection to the "digital minimalism" lifestyle?
@JoseBriones 2 ай бұрын
Digital minimalism isn't about the number of devices you use. It's about what they are designed to do and how to integrate them in your life. Yes, carrying multiple objects adds complexity and sometimes can be bothersome. However, having peace of mind and creating a space that isn't demanding for my constant attention is worth it. Easy and simple are usually misunderstood. Simple doesn't have to be easy. Easy sometimes leads to more difficulty. In the case of the smartphone, it makes a lot of things easy and convenient, at a cost. The question is if you are willing to pay that (attention, money, life) cost.
