I bought the 5.8” inkpalm recently in the regular aliexpress sale, was just over $100. Ask me anything. Which Anki apk do you like? I’ll see if it can be coaxed to install it.
It’s fine for what it is, screen is a little reflective and the system is very sluggish. But it runs KOReader just fine for me, even large epubs and pdfs render ok (eventually).
It’s incredibly light and pocketable but I worry about scratching the screen - it is not iPhone level gorilla glass.
Also the narrow screen takes some getting used to, need to play with then font size to get a decent amount of words on a line without getting tiny.
Eink hasn’t taken off because it’s too expensive. A device like this should be a $20-30 impulse purchase not new-mid-range/used-flagship smartphone price.
