I replaced my Kindle with this E Ink tablet that runs Android - and don't regret it
Briefly

The article discusses the limitations of traditional E Ink products like the Kindle and ReMarkable 2, which excel at reading and note-taking but lack multifunctionality. The author praises the Boox Page e-reader for its simplified Android OS, enabling access to apps for improved productivity. This functionality allows for seamless note-taking and research while reading. However, despite its app capabilities, the author highlights the limitations of E Ink displays for video, suggesting they unintentionally promote focus by limiting distractions from social media.
I enjoy reading a variety of formats, not just ebooks but also blogs and online articles. However, Kindle and ReMarkable 2's limited functionality restricts this experience.
The Boox Page expands e-reader capabilities by running a simplified version of Android, allowing users to note ideas or research topics while reading.
Although E Ink displays struggle with video, their limitations provide a distraction-free reading environment, preventing excessive engagement with social media.
If you don't need all the extra apps and features, consider them as free bonuses, emphasizing the balance between productivity and simplicity.
