I'd love to see some cross between a Kindle and iPad..something focused on reading, but not necessarily books. At night I tend to browse various sites ranging from WaPo, Defector, The Athletic, and New Yorker, and others on my RSS feed and if I could do so on a simple eink tablet I'd probably reach for that more often than my phone or laptop.

Honestly if Feedly or a similar RSS reader came out with a dedicated eink reader it'd probably be a day one purchase for me, but maybe I'm in the minority.

Is the reMarkable 2 tablet not a fit for that? Haven’t tried it myself so not sure what its limitations are.
Yes. I got a reMarkable 2 recently and use it all the time. Mostly for note taking and thinking, but recently to read PDFs as well. ePubs are next. And I'm exploring ways to read RSS feeds/blogs on there too.

Highly recommend it. I consider it a breakthrough tool for thought.

That describes Onyx Boox products to a tee. Full android devices with e-ink screens.
Check out Onyx Max Lumi. It runs Android so you can install apps on it. I have the Feedly app installed and it works pretty good.
Oh man this seems great...very interested. Might give it a shot, thanks for the heads up!
