best productivity device is called mom - tells you when to do what and how, reminds you of birthdays and to dress nicely, eat healthy and keep warm. will cook and do laundry if you dont have time too
the entry level ereaders james recommended in this vid: • InkPalm 5 • Tencent Pocket 2 • Hisense A5 • Hisense A9 [not really entry level] lol idk if this is gonna be any useful but why not right
Very helpful, thanks! The last one is ridiculously priced tho. Anyways you’re better off buying any old used version of whatever ppl use near you, imho
The amount of fans of DankPods it's just incredible, the widest and unthinkable range of people it's in there and I'm just happy to see such phenomenom
James, your video was an eye-opener for me! I've been searching for a good e-ink device to enhance my productivity and reading habits. Your insights into various pocket-sized e-readers were incredibly informative. I'm intrigued by the Hisense A5 and A9 models, especially since I'm not a fan of Amazon's Kindle ecosystem. Your channel is a goldmine of tech advice, and I appreciate your commitment to providing thorough and unbiased reviews. Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to your future content!
i’ve been looking for different e-ink devices all over the internet!!!! very happy to run into your channel, loving the content. i’m from brazil and kindle still the most popular device when it comes to e-inks & e-readers… really hoping to see this device in the markets around here soon. xx
Bought a Kobo Nia personally and I love it! It doesn't have quite the same store as a Kindle but you can move over any ebook from anywhere onto it and it's great!
Bought a hisense touch two days ago, glad to know I made the right choice. Replaced my smartphone with a 903kc and wanted something to replace my mobile entertainment. Thank you for all the tech inspiration
Did you have a problem with audio that sounded super compressed? I've tried playing it off spotify and music i've downloaded and it sounds like I'm running it through a bitcrusher
I've had a nook simple touch since it was launched. What 12 years ago now? Something like that. It's battery has been replaced and it's screen is a bit worse than it was when it was new. But it's served me super well and I love it. It's not hardly a top of the line device not by any stretch. But it was easy to root. Overclocking it and installing a few custom apps really has made it continue to be fast enough and equipped well enough to serve it's purpose. I keep a Mobiscribe at my office. It serves as my work ereader and a note taking device. But if I'm taking a trip someplace and I want an ereader a plane or bus or train trip? The Nook is coming along. If I'm going to the beach? It's again the nook. I've gotten my money out of it and if it was lost, or stolen, or rendered nonfunctional at this stage of things I'd be ok. So yeah I can safely say I have no desire to use an Amazon device and really never have.
Literally the type of video I was looking for. I've been researching into pocketable e-readers lately and narrowed it down to either the entry level inkpalm 5 you mentioned or the hisense touch (though probably the lite version). What made you jump from the inkpalm 5 to the hisense touch and what's the battery life like on it (I've read the battery life on the inkpalm 5 isn't that great).
I have the inkpalm 5. I like it, but would rather have the hisense touch if I'm being honest, but the Hisense is pricy! Inkpalm's battery life is...okay. I get several days out of it with light use. A useful feature is that it turns off wifi everytime you lock which helps save battery in standby. Another con for me was that it came with no english out of the box, so I had to sideload an app to translate everything into English for me. Not the end of the world though - kind of a set it and forget it thing. Honestly, my biggest gripe with it is that it's too wide! lol I wish it was more narrow to make holding it more comfortable.
I bought my A9 after I watched your last desktop setup video. Have using it for a week now, wow, should I say it's the most valuable phone I got. I finally quit the last bit of douyin or tiktok, no more youtube videos on phone, no more late night phone scrolling, got plenty more time to study, work, sport, and meditation. Dumb phone is such a brilliant idea for phone addicted people like me, not to say I can finally learn to read some books... Damn bro, your channel is a true treasure on the internet...😂
In my country, Amazon started to sell kindles below the cost os production, making every other company stop selling e-readers due to the financial loss they were getting, so our only accessible option of e-reader is kindle and that's pretty sad. Hope someday I'll get the oportunity to import one that I can write in
I know this is a late reply, but if you wanted to, the open book project is a DIY e reader that you can assemble using off the shelf parts :) I know soldering is not for eveyone though and components vary wildly in price across the world, but thought it was a cool option you might not have heard of!
I bought it the exact same moment i saw it in your live! Been using it not that much though since i’ve been basically always home since then so just been into paper books and kindle, but it’s a must have of the days i go to the university! Not difficult to setup at all and for what it is and what it is supposed to be, works great. Maybe a little bit overpriced, but fine

I’m thinking of ordering a Hisense touch, was actually going for the ink palm 5, but the glossy screen is a dealbreaker. Thank you so much for this awesome videoooo 😊
Personally I'm a fan of the Onyx Boox Nova line of devices. 7.8inch(19.8cm) screen is the perfect "book size" for me. They also come with a proper stylus, so you can use it as a notepad. They come with Google Play support as well so you can install basically any ebook or news app(or game) you want. They aren't cheap since they are basically Android Tablets with expensive eInk screens, but they are so worth it. The only thing that really bothers me is that they still only come with 32GB of storage. At least put 64GB in there, the cost difference these days is minimal. PS: They now have versions with some color support. The colors aren't very vibrant, and you do sacrifice the black and white performance(turning on the two-tone side lighting helps negate this though), but it is cool to have.
hm, i feel like the nova line is a bit out of place in the model line. i think the leaf 2 is a better product at the same price point which doesn’t make sense, the leaf has a way sharper, clearer screen and page turn button buttons, sd card slot. only advantages of nova line is the ever so slightly larger size, better performance (which for reading is irrelevant), and the color option which for most people isn’t worth it
@@supreme3647 For me that near inch difference in screen size is a big difference, and the lack of stylus support is a turn off too. It is dumb that the Nova still doesn't have a MicroSD slot or larger storage options though. Also, while the Color version isn't as good at mimicking BW paper as a BW model, they have the Nova Air2 which is BW and has the same DPI, and hence sharpness, as the Leaf2.

@@supreme3647the "slightly" larger screen is big enough to where it makes manga significantly more readable (which is basically the only reason I went with a nova air). If I was doing book reading only then the leaf is a no brainier
I just use the onyx poke 3 its super small and fits in almost any pocket. I wear cargo trousers all the time so I just chuck it in one of the side pockets and just carry it with me when i leave the house so I can read on the bus and during my lunch break at work
I bought an e-note taking device some years ago, and that was gamechanger for me. I want to mark thinhs when reading a book, and the process for it on normal touch devices (long press word, be happy when you actually got the correct one, dragging through the text untill the correct end, press the "mark" button, etc) is just frustrating. With the device I can just take the pen, and mark and scribble however I want in a fraction of the time!
Would be awesome if you could do a set up video on how to read manga on it. I've been trying to find the perfect device to read webtoons/manhwa on. I use tachiyomi everyday for hours and I found a tablet size that would be perfect. Something like a 8.9 inch to mimick the page size of a manga. Needs to have good colors and smooth scrolling. Its I haven't found anything that has those specks.. closest thing is the Lenovo LEGION Y700 tablet but its not available in the USA yet. I could just cover a glossy screen with a matte screen protector so that's not much of an issue.
Not very journal-like, but I recommend the app "everyday". You can create personalized goals, select the days you want to accomplish them on, and get an overview of your success rate.
Got one of back in 2022 too, but I kinda wish I got the a5 for the cellular data. Carrying around my phone and my e-reader at the same time was kinda clunky and I never trained my instant gratification, so when I got bored, I kept grabbing my phone instead of my e-reader lol. I would like to just carry the e-reader and not take my phone places, but I do need my phone for emergencies and if my family calls. How do you go about this? Do you carry both?
Yo, longtime viewer, first time commenter. I’m more advanced in my career than you but absolutely love your videos. Have to give you props for shilling for this product category. Because of this video, I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new Boox Palma! Only downside is the lack of security out of the box because it ships with Android 11. I’m an iOS guy so I’m not used to using insecure hardware. But I’ll work around that and I’m really hoping this device will help increase my reading! Thanks dude. Love your work. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I bought logikoma’s old Touch and I use it every day. The matte screen protector kept getting lifted on the edges. I took it off and it doesn’t really bother me, but I’m usually reading in low light.
Oh wow, you're the kid with the crazy baggy drip in my computer systems course (few years ago?). wish I came across this channel earlier, you've got some cool content.
just a question out of curiosity, i do believe you highlight texts and quotes from a book using that ebook. where do u transfer those after? do you write it on a ntbk or do you use an app? :0
My only grudge with these E-ink smartphones is that they’re region locked to Asia. Living in South America just makes them so hard and expensive to acquire, and even if I could import one the radio bands are not compatible with my region’s bands… :/
Mano, estou pensando em comprar um, mas fico com o mesmo receio que você. Tipo, olhando bem, é mais fácil eu comprar um celular comum aqui e fazer algumas modificações nele para se tornar o mais próximo de um ereader. Só que a única coisa que não poderia ser substituído era a tela e ink. Mas me fala ai, você comprou algum e reader? Se sim, vale a pena comprar mesmo morando na America do sul?
Thanks you James, I ve been thinking about getting a kindle but then again I thought maybe a standard tablet to do more task on it. I got into researching e-ink tablets but they seem expensive for the experiance. I think I will look into that. Any e-ink tablets video coming up any time soon ?
I am interested in how you use the larger tablet ereaders as well as which ones you have tried and recommend. I think you mentioned in a room tour that you use them to read manga?
thanks for this video James! I'm seriously considering buying one now. Do you know how would I transfer e-books from my Calibre library on my macbook to the Hisense touch? What software on Hisense would be good for this? I haven't used android for almost 10 years now. Thanks again!
Just bought myself a Kobo Libra 2 the other day and now this video is making me wonder if I fumbled hard. Do you actually use your compact e-ink devices for things other than reading/listening to books? Like does it have a precise enough touchscreen to take handwritten notes with a stylus or something? Or is that a job left to bigger devices like the boox/remarkable tablets?
Personally, I find anything smaller than 10-11 inches too small to comfortably take notes on. I don’t use my e reader devices for anything other than reading. I don’t think you fumbled at all - I much prefer the size of my 6” e readers.
this is a weird question but does anyone know how are called the pants that James use? they seem so comfortable...i need to use something comfy this winter
does anyone have a recommendation of one with a microsd slot? this hisense sounds great but no microsd kinda kills it for me, especially if i can put flacs/manga on it too. i had a kindle i gave to my mom so i’m in the market for a new (smallish) e reader.
Hey man recently stumbled upon your channel and you seem to make some great content but your latest video is like 4 moths old now, are you planing to upload more in the future or is the youtube done for you?
Hey Found this video… and I have been wanting an e-reader for a bit . I am digging this , where can I buy it for a good price with out getting scammed? And a good one… definitely got me interested. Have a great day!
I've had good experience with my kobo forma, which is a preferable form factor for me. If you like the smaller size I'd go with one of the smartphone sized ones. Also just make sure whatever file type you read is supported by the device

Thanks you James, I ve been thinking about getting a kindle but then again I thought maybe a standard tablet to do more task on it. I got into researching e-ink tablets but they seem expensive for the experiance. I think I will look into that. Any e-ink tablets video coming up any time soon ?
I am interested in how you use the larger tablet ereaders as well as which ones you have tried and recommend. I think you mentioned in a room tour that you use them to read manga?
thanks for this video James! I'm seriously considering buying one now. Do you know how would I transfer e-books from my Calibre library on my macbook to the Hisense touch? What software on Hisense would be good for this? I haven't used android for almost 10 years now. Thanks again!
Where do you get your shirts from? (Old) tech shirts are amazing
hey james,
really nice video!
could you please tell me where you get your e-books from?
Just bought myself a Kobo Libra 2 the other day and now this video is making me wonder if I fumbled hard. Do you actually use your compact e-ink devices for things other than reading/listening to books? Like does it have a precise enough touchscreen to take handwritten notes with a stylus or something? Or is that a job left to bigger devices like the boox/remarkable tablets?
in the exact same situation as you rn, except I plan to keep my libra 2 and maybe buy a hisense touch
Personally, I find anything smaller than 10-11 inches too small to comfortably take notes on. I don’t use my e reader devices for anything other than reading. I don’t think you fumbled at all - I much prefer the size of my 6” e readers.
this is a weird question but does anyone know how are called the pants that James use? they seem so comfortable...i need to use something comfy this winter
Lowering the camera to show the product ❌
Go up to camera height to show the product ✔️
What brand/model watch are you wearing? Looks nice
lets gooo a new video commenting before watching since i know it's a good one
Which e-reader app do you recommend that can also sync between other e-ink devices such as the boox tablets?
god damn another james valdez scholz banger
does anyone have a recommendation of one with a microsd slot? this hisense sounds great but no microsd kinda kills it for me, especially if i can put flacs/manga on it too. i had a kindle i gave to my mom so i’m in the market for a new (smallish) e reader.
Can you tell us what you think about the reMarkable 2
Thank you for your interasting video from Japan.
I’m just wondering how you get ebooks?🤨
Doing some modular math 😎🔥, damn im taking discrete math rn and im struggling bruh 😢
exactly the video i needed
I just discovered your channel after buying a kindle, and yeah🙂
wanted a hisense touch for a while but getting it in central europe seems impossible
Greastest guy! Keep up the good work!
Thank u james
this is off topic but your skin looks absolutely amazing
what ereader would you recommend for standard size ereader?
what mic are you using at the beginning of the vid? tyty
edit: think it might be a sm57 with locking windscreen. please correct me if i'm wrong
kobo is my boy, i love reading sm i just don't use my phone anymore unless i wanna listen to a podcast
Hey James, have a question here. Do you necessarily need an iPad for cs major?
I see Guts and Casca 👀…. thank you you for all the eBook content I’m all for it
omg i fall in love to yrs eyes
Just a question - do you remember most of the things you read like 70 books in a year is definitely a lot of input.
Yes he obviously remembers every sentence
what type of books are you reading and or would recommend?
Your content is amazing
Do you find the Display big enough to read Manga with Tachiyomi? Or do you need to scroll/zoom alot to read certain pages?
it's doable, not ideal-when the panels span two pages it's sort of a lot of zooming but otherwise it works in a pinch
Can you post the list of e readers u have and which u recommend?
Can you make a video how you sync the reading progress between devices?
what watch are you wearing?
Bro love your videos I was just watching another video in the same channel
Hey man recently stumbled upon your channel and you seem to make some great content but your latest video is like 4 moths old now, are you planing to upload more in the future or is the youtube done for you?
Hey Found this video… and I have been wanting an e-reader for a bit . I am digging this , where can I buy it for a good price with out getting scammed? And a good one… definitely got me interested. Have a great day!
how did you get the light phone esque home screen? is that from the unlauncher or aio launcher?
Does it have the features of other ereaders of how you can click on words and it gives you their definition and you can translate them and such?
W vid, will you please review your boox e readers next 😳
What about form factor? Should people get a larger screen or just one like on the phones? What is better in your opinion?
I've had good experience with my kobo forma, which is a preferable form factor for me. If you like the smaller size I'd go with one of the smartphone sized ones. Also just make sure whatever file type you read is supported by the device
James forgot his yt password again.
Can we read PDFs on these books? Like PDFs stored in iCloud ? And will it sync if I annotate or highlight the PDFs if opened through these e-readers ?
in your opinion what benefits does it have that you don't get with an iphone + kindle app?
Thank you
yo james have u ever gotten to work the network tethering on your kyocera phoen?
What website would you recommend is a good place to purchase a hisense ereader in the united states?
does the inkpalm display japanese fonts when reading in japanese or does it display chinese fonts for kanji?
