Being able to access books and apps on a comfortable, distraction-free e-ink screen is pretty amazing. I got a Boox Page just to be able to access more Chinese material in an convenient way on an e-ink screen. DuChinese and Pleco work somewhat smoothly with some tinkering, and surprisingly enough, 微信读书 actually has an e-ink variant of their app: 微信读书墨水屏版. Even without an android e-reader, like if you have a Kobo or similar, it’s still great being able to use KOReader coupled with the CC-CEDICT dictionary to read Chinese e-books. All of this has definitely increased my willingness to read in Chinese.
Nice! Yeah it works ok. The benefits of eink outweigh the negatives I think.
