As my eyesight is no longer what it used to be, in general, I prefer to read on a larger screen. That's why I got the KA1, the Onyx Max and have pre-ordered the Onyx Note 10.3.
However, I can see instances where a small ereader would come in quite handy. There are times, when traveling or hiking, when weight and size are a real concern. It might be nice to have a very small ereader at such times.
Actually, I would really like to have an eink phone. Not a hybrid like the Yotaphone, but a dedicated eink phone. Not for playing games or watching videos. Just a very functional device which went easy on the battery and could be used in direct sunlight. Of course, it would also need a frontlight so that it could be used at other times as well. Any photos taken or video recorded could be watched in colour once transferred to a tablet or computer.
