As a general rule, I don’t like small eReaders (for which my primary experience is my phone). I find I read much less when using them, because the act of turning a page tricks my brain into thinking I’ve made more progress than I have. Consequently, it makes even short reading sessions feel like a chore.
That said, I think I would love this thing for one very specific use case: backpacking! Space is always at a premium, and I’ve long lamented the Kobo Mini never got a frontlit model.
Here it is a bit different. Small screen, so, if I am not feeling well, it is much easier to read just a page or two, and go: Yeah, thats something.
Which... while, on its own is not a lot, but... it really helps with keeping up the habit. (Because, alongside english, I also read in Japanese, and there, reading just one page, takes 4-5 minutes. So yeah, habit-keeping is important for me there)
