I wouldn’t say it’s a gimmick, but I agree with being too expensive for what it is.

I do a lot of reading (books, articles, manga, etc) and I love the idea of regardless of where I am, I can double the size of my screen and get some reading done.

Also, Bloons td 6, I think this game benefits from a bigger screen.

Alas, I already have an e-ink tablet and my phone is too recent, so I could never justify buying one of these. But maybe someday
