I can’t help but wonder if the benefits of e-ink are as good in the format of goggles/glasses. I’m skeptical, for sure, but it is an interesting form factor. Also a interesting decision that they work with your phone, so the glasses don’t need to have much on board storage. Would anybody here use something like this? Definitely seems ultra-niche.

    I saw this a while back and never understood why you’d want a glasses format for an e-reader. I think most people interested in reading on e-ink just prefer the tablet form factor that’s very similar to an actual book.

      I could see it if you wanted a little oasis for yourself. Headphones and these glasses, sit back and escape. But even so, damn that resolution is shitty. And I can get a pretty decent ereader for that much. I can’t imagine it will be successful, but I’m wrong more often than right when it comes to guessing what the market wants.
