The only Android 16 e-reader available just got a 15% holiday price cut

[phillynews215]

Viwoods’ AiPaper Reader earned attention at launch as the first e-reader to run Android 16. In the spirit of Black Friday deals, it’s now a bit cheaper to give it a go. As long as you’re a Prime member, the device is currently available for $237, down from its launch price of $279.

The AiPaper Reader stands out because it behaves less like a traditional e-reader and more like a pocketable smart device. It runs Android 16, which helps it stand out from the crowd of e-readers using older software (or stuck in closed ecosystems). Unlike Kindles, for example, it supports full app installs. The device also includes 4GB of RAM paired with 128GB of storage, and there’s a 4G LTE SIM slot for staying connected away from Wi-Fi, though for data-only use.
