Craig Mod on E-Ink Devices
Craig Mod, on craigmod.com:
Every few years, I’ve upgraded my Kindle and I’ve never been “delighted.” The platform has long since felt flawed across many axes. The Palma is the first time I’ve been delighted by a new digital reading device in a long, long time. Now, with E Ink companies like BOOX we can finally untether the quietude of E Ink reading from proprietary hardware. It’s a big win, I feel, for us readers. And seems like — maybe — a first step towards even bigger wins.
True. Last Kindle that delighted me was the Voyage, but since then, every new version feels like a new color post-it. I do enjoy my Leaf 2 device, but I’m curious of form factors to come. And I’m sure Amazon won’t be the ones coming up with them.
