This looks cool but... I'm nervous about pre-ordering from a company I've never heard of. Anyone know anything about these guys?

You've heard of ereaders, right? Better yet, you've heard of books, right? Why anyone would want to read a book in the form factor of a phone I have no idea. And even still, some slide phone plus an ereader plus a pen and pad would still be cheaper than either the Hisense A9 or the Minimalist phone. You're paying a premium to combine functionality while making some of those functions worse

Gosh, do I feel silly! You're right, nobody reads on the pocket-sized device they carry around all the time.

If you read books on your phone then by all means feel free to continue. It's a suboptimal way of reading though and I'm judging the fuck out of you for it.

Okay? Thanks?
