Our 3.5mm jack doubles as our USB charging and data connection. We will offer adapters for users to connect with Earl over USB otg.)

Yes, that's what I found too.
This is a serious issue for me - I have an intense dislike of nonstandard plugs (mainly because I rarely accept that they're necessary at all, but also because it means you always have to carry them around).

As far as screen size, it shows up in the specs as 6" e-Ink screen. (See attached screenshot)

Hm. Still, I wonder - the borders look broader than with the kobo, and the outer dimensions are close.

By the way, I'm not officially endorsing Earl by any stretch of the means. I just really liked the concept, and have been following the development closely.

Endorsed or not, you're a useful resource to ask :-) So thanks for that.

I'm still debating with myself if I want to buy one. My main problem is, I don't need half the stuff it offers - all I'd want is an eInk Android tablet.
(I really like the IP67 and solar panel, though.)
Perhaps I'll wait till production, and pay more but have more information.
As much as I like the idea of it, I dislike their website.
