Ok, I gave in to temptation and ordered a Hisense A5:

I'm pretty sure it will satisfy my needs for a reader, since I occasionally have been reading on my phone, and I know the size is not annoying;
It will be my secondary phone – if it satisfies me, it may even become the primary;
it will add a little drive to the market for e-ink smartphones
it satisfies the little geek in me who wanted to try something new
it costed me just 188 € for the 64 GB model, so a reasonable price both for a phone and for a reader;
even if with time I won't be able to stay on 4G, it will still work as an e-reader with wifi.

The only drawback is that it will take some time to arrive from China – but I can wait, in the meantime I have the Boyue to read on!
