    Hisense makes these e-ink phones that run Android. They’re fiddly to get a working app store on, but once you do, you can pick your reading app. I run a Hisense A7CC with Kobo, Kindle, Aldiko, Perfect Viewer, and, well, this app! That is, if you want a very small screen. Boox makes a few 6-8" e-ink Android readers. I do like being able to sideload in whichever reading app I want. The colour ones are overpriced though.

      Those Hisense phones are cool! Seems really nice for reading news and such that you can’t get on a traditonal ereader.
