Not at all. There are quite a few cheap e-readers out there. I’ve had the pleasure of owning a few, and I’m afraid I never wished Android would run on one.
I made the mistake of buying an Android one (Icarus) years back…despite the eink display, the battery life was barely better than a phone due to the overhead of running the OS. Plus, most Android apps were unusable because they depend on scrolling and high refresh rates.
That seems super expensive for what it is or are e-paper devices just that expensive?
