I love smartphones. Instead of having to buy books, I can just pirate like thousands of epubs to put in my pocket and I’m effectivly carrying a bookshelf with me.
I ain’t carrying a fucking book, too heavy. (Also, yaRrr 🏴☠️)
I wish popular cell phones would offer an eink option. I know there are 1-2 phones out there, but they always seem to be on some ancient version of Android.
The best one is a Chinese only one that is a massive struggle to get GApps on it. It can be rooted now, but still not exactly an easy phone to set up for Western use without caveats.
Boox Palma was so close. It just needed cellular capability.

If my kindle played audio files / podcasts that would be half of what I use it for.

I saw that one. Wasn’t it a newer Android version too instead of an ancient one like most of Boox’s stuff?
