Waited weeks for this and was so excited it finally arrived today. Unboxed it, put it on charge, and…nothing. Won’t boot up, no signs of life. He’s dead, Jim.
Now I have to send it back and wait who knows how long if I want a replacement. Probably just going to ask for a refund; I can’t wait another 4-6 weeks or wait for one to ship from the September batch. Ugh!
Mildly infuriating, highly disappointing.
I think the selling point is that it is less distracting because the black and white eink display does not support videos or social media doom scrolling.
Ah ok, so instead of minimizing your own usage by uninstalling apps and such, you’re getting help from the device’s physical inability to use those apps and, thus, remove the temptations. Ok, cool! That’s actually a pretty nice use of the tech!
