    Some people like to enjoy their media without having to use their phone and prefer to keep their smartphones as strictly communication devices.

    It allows you to switch off entirely when you so desire in addition to saving smartphone battery life.

    This in addition to being able to use 2tb of removable storage dedicated to music and a headphone jack are significant advantages for me. Not that I would purchase this particular device but I understand the appeal of devices that perform one function such as DAPs and ereaders.

      Okay, I guess that’s fair. I can see this useful for being out for a run or whatnot. I’m not sure I find it quite comparable to an e-reader, since the screen on an e-reader provides a decidedly different experience from a smartphone both in size and readability.
