I don't think I'd consider anything that.

But, on very brief use, I'm impressed. It was certainly well worth the (just under) £110 I spent on it.

The 4.7" E-Ink screen is even smaller than the size would lead you to believe, because it's not 4x3 but 16x9. That is, the 6" Kindle has an area of 17.28", but the 4.7" screen on the Yotaphone has an area of 9.4" - only just over half the area.

However, the narrower screen isn't an problem with the Kindle reader, since it stops trying to justify text when the line length gets too short to do it well.

Having a capable smart phone and E-Ink ebook reader all in one does looks like it'll be a good thing. My Voyage might get relegated to being a bedtime reader (for the front light).
