I hope they expand their device offering beyond niche eReaders; there's a lot of people with Kindles that Amazon is trying hard to turn into paperweights.

I'd like to see more niche devices, like Boox Nova Air

Epaperweights*

This looks like a good alternative to a kindle. What is the ‘best’ hardware available to run this on?

Have done some research and I see the xteink x4 seems decent. No backlight but has USB-C and they have an official partnership with Crosspoint. Only thing I’m unsure of is battery repair down the line

[-] matterofact@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Battery can be accessed by opening the device and it’s then just two soldered wires. Not ideal but fairly straightforward if needed

How will this compare with the PineNote?
Is it linked to the OpenBookTouch crowdfunding campain launched last week? https://lemmy.world/post/49429593
