A 7 inch Kaleido 3 reader in a flat 195 gram body, with 300 ppi mono text, 150 ppi colour, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage and a microSD slot. The second generation moved to Android 13 and added support for the BOOX InkSense stylus, so handwriting and colour annotation work on the same device used for novels. Price is close to $250, and the dual tone front light covers both cold and warm settings.
Useful for readers juggling several stores at once, since Kindle, Kobo and Libby apps install side by side. Comics and illustrated manuals benefit from colour, plain prose barely does. There is no water resistance, the stylus costs extra, and Android on electronic paper always demands a little patience with animations and pop up menus.
