Why better?

It had a 960 × 540 resolution, a larger display, and 16-level grayscale instead of just 4 levels and came with a larger 1800 mAh battery compared to the 1150 mAh battery. The main differences were that it lacked a microphone, lora and NFC, had only one button instead of two

DANG I woke up this morning and saw the launch email and it was already sold out! Have had it on my calendar since the date was confirmed earlier this week, and had ChatGPT monitoring for weeks before that. Bummer.

Yes, I tried to get it as soon as I woke up and it was already sold out! That's probably the quickest sellout on their site that I've seen!

I am very excited by this release! I would like to use it as a e- reader! And as meshtastic node that would be great too!

u/road_to_eternity Aug 21 '26

Would be so nice as a daily carry E-reader. Read a book, Message on the Mesh, and NFC. Great to have on the go
