Astropad Bookcase Launched
Andrew Liszewski, on The Verge:
Astropad’s new Bookcase is a smartphone accessory designed to make reading on a smartphone feel more like reading on an e-reader. No, it doesn’t give your phone an easy-on-the-eyes screen, longer battery life, or any other features that have made devices like the Kindle popular. Instead, for $50 the Bookcase is really just designed to make a smartphone easier to hold like a book, while making your favorite reading app more accessible.
Just to make the editorial line of this blog as bipolar as posible, here’s the oposite of the BOOX Palma 2. I’ll confess I was very intrigued when I saw the photo, but after looking at the feature list in their product page, I was disappointed.
For me it was a given it would offer: battery bank functionality (at list to maintain batter level), and buttons to turn pages. Lacking either of this, I really don’t see the point. I’ll save my irrational accessory purchase for a Clicks Keyboard.
