The 'specs', such as they are, are probably totally wishful thinking. If they had said something more in line with a cheap Android phone that would make sense, knockoff or last-gen Android SoCs can be inexpensive. But 6 GB of RAM in this market, and ereader prices? Good luck. They can't have done any work on an actual feasibility study.

I randomly searched for five ebook titles on my wish list and Bookshop.org didn't sell any of them.

I'm also somewhat surprised to see 6 week battery life! I have to wonder how much reading they expect someone to do.

Also, would be a real nice change to have an easily replaced battery (ie a removable flap over the battery).

A swappable battery for heavy readers would be great! I'm capable of reading for 10 hours a day...which is a pain if you haven't got a charger & cable with you.

I always have a charger with me when I am away from home. Either in the car or a portable battery pack.

I don't carry a charger or a battery pack or want to carry another battery with me. I like the long battery life of eink ereaders.

I carry the battery with me when I have my bag with me. I don't use my battery all that much. But it's good to have. Because when I need it, I'd have it.

And what's the name of that website - not a bookstore, thank god - that steals news from Mobileread and posts it without any attribution? You know, that site prone to wild delusions of grandeur mixed with elements of fantasy....

Didn't they put out an ebook reader (or tablet) with squirrelly software?
Is that the one that starts with "good"?

The thing they do well is they take very good video of Readers when they are doing their video reviews. It's 4K and very clear.

Still photos and text would be hugely better. Video isn't needed except to show refresh & page turn. The Web 4K is very compressed compared to decent images.
