It's selling point is a lack of features. There's no web browser, no Instagram, no Facebook or Slack. No messaging. Just a digital piece of paper. No distractions. If you give me a way to get reddit on there, the device is ruined.
I didn't want a web browser either. I wanted access to my calendar, or some way to set the lockscreen to my calendar. I wanted a live syncing folder of images/pdfs that wasn't tied to the subscription remarkable walled garden. I wanted a way to read rss content, instead of setting up a complex automation to sync things over ssh.
That's a clear case of PEBTSAC [1] as it is not the device which decides whether those mentioned time wasters are able to do their master's bidding but the person using the device. Sellers of 'premium' devices which are specced-down so as not to be able to run those things are guilty of the same crime as sellers of 'light' products which replace nutritious ingredients with water or air while selling at a 'premium' price. Just eat less of the good stuff instead of being suckered into paying more for less. The same goes for these 'premium´ devices which only do one thing and often do that thing badly.
