Hardware settings seems a bit limited. Maybe the point is to make it very cheap? Charging via older standard microUSB port makes it a no-go for the whole of European market through conventional channels tho.

But really the 7.5" 800x480 screen def worries me. A Kobo Clara is 1072x1448 over 6" diagonal, for $120.

(Now 5000mAh battery is crazy good for an e-ink device, that’s great)

OP when the actual Crowd Funding campaign starts, please repost. I am curious nevertheless, it’s a cool idea but I also want to be able to read my books on it.
