You just need to add an antenna, which in the cheapest case is a sticker.
Why shouldn't an ereader have GPS? If you don't want it just keep location off.
I'm mainly thinking of hiking.

128 GB isn't nearly enough! Throw some music, podcasts and audio books in there and almost all of it is gone. I like having a lot of options for whenever I want to listen to something. And I like having it offline.
Re the GPS I can only agree. Another thing the A9 lacks is NFC, which I don't use myself, but I just don't understand why they wouldn't include it, especially since the A5 Pro has it. In fact A5 Pro has both NFC and an SD card slot.
This is something that plagues e-ink devices specifically. It seems like every new device is one step forwards, one step back and two steps in god knows what odd direction. Especially the devices from Onyx, unfortunately... They are the most promising player in the field, but make extremely questionable decisions at times.
For something like the Palma: include everything - SD card slot, GPS, NFC, SIM functionality, a camera. Maybe make a Palma light version without that. Otherwise airplane mode exists for people who don't want to use it as a phone.
