I really like the idea. But I don't much care for it syncing to the vendor's cloud server. If it would sync in open file formats to my NextCloud instance, then that's attractive.

Also, there's definitely a balance to be struck between lack of distraction and lack of features. It would be a waste for this not to have an epub reader, for example. But while I'd really appreciate having email on it, that's starting to get into distraction territory.

about epub, that's one format we're already committed to supporting. it's listed in the FAQ. we're very careful about not over-promising, that's partly why there aren't more features listed.

edit; really besides the point, but saw your nick. our internal name for the prototype (in u-boot and the kernel) is zero-gravitas.
