    I love the idea of an ereader but I do most of my reading online on websites like spacebattles and royalroad. Would I be able to use this for that, through wifi of course? Or should I just stick with my phone/pc.

      Assuming it works like the XTEINK X3 (with Crosspoint), not directly. There’s no web browser, so you’d need to download/convert articles and then you could send them wirelessly to the device. Definitely worth it for long form articles you’re going to spend some time reading, but probably tedious if it’s short form stuff you want regularly updated.

    Too small, but I’m seriously considering the Boox Palma 3 as an “always in my pocket” offline e-reader and MP3 player. I could do that with retired smartphones, but the e-Ink screens are so nice.
