The Playdate makes a surprisingly good e-reader

Following distraction-free reading devices like the Boox Palma, the Playdate handheld gaming system now has an e-reader app.

@idreesinc @playdate Playbook is genuinely my most used app on my Playdate. I like e-readers, but the Playdate is actually a size where I can always have it with me and read a bit here and there wherever I am. And using the crank to scroll is just fun!

@SevenStack @playdate I am so glad to hear that! I didn't have high expectations when I first started working on it, but the playdate turned out to be a bit more practical as an ereader than I had first expected!
