With these cheap tablets, they often have terrible chip sets. However most android devices have locked bootloaders so you can't install a lightweight operating system on them which makes them a somewhat terrible purchase. Also a random unpopular tablet is unlikely to have any custom roms or tools anyways available anyways.
It's not an ad, it's just sharing a nice product more oriented to reading rather than entertaining, a valid solution to have both an e-reader and a tablet in one device.
With a good price now.
I don't know. I settled on an eink device. The NXTpaper was my second choice after researching though. It was twoish years ago I was looking at them so all I really remember is the overview. If I watched videos I would have gotten the NXTpaper but I don't so the refresh rate of eink isn't an issue for me.

What's this technology? Nxtpaper?
You'd think someone posting an ad to Lemmy would at least make it high effort. This is just more slop though.

It's a matte screen I think. Supposedly closer to paper than most displays but not as close as eink.

Is the battery life closer to eink or LCD?

I'm excited for this device but it's only available through Verizon with monthly service.
