Not a huge fan of the size of the screen, but it seems nice otherwise. I actually appreciate it being a little thicker because I have big hands and gripping thin things hurts after awhile.
I am somehow keeping faith that the PineNote will emerge from early adoption to a fully usable e-reader and e-note device before I pass to the shadow realm. I'm sure my grandchildren will see the day.
But can you get books to read on it? I suspect that these gadgets will get locked out of the market by the thugs.
These gadgets were locked into the market, locked out of everything else. Usually, how these things go, the community version supplies interfaces for downloading content from third parties.
Lock the gadgets out all they want. That’ll only make more interest around having all the popular new books available on platforms that thugs can’t control.
The specs on this are terrible. I wouldn't buy it for $29.
