I don't think it's a bad idea in principle, but what got me suspicious is that I couldn't find the resolution anywhere on their page. From the only picture of the screen I found, it looks painfully low res:
Havent read it, but dont we already have 3d books you can pick up and hold in your hand?
lol but that's one of the benefits. You ever try to lay down and read? Shit is uncomfortable. With one of these you could just lie on your back on your bed which would be an awesome experience imo
For years now I have only read ebooks on my phone, so one evening I decided to get back to the habit of reading real books.
So I take my time and carefully pick just the right book, gather some pillows, turn off the lights and lay comfortable on the couch. And after a few confused moments of flipping through pages I realized that these fucking things didn't work in the dark. And I really don't like to read under a bright light anymore so back to reddit it was for that evening.
That said, I think I'll skip this one, doesn't sound too comfortable.
