This one notably really is a phone!

There's some good Android e-reader devices, for much cheaper. I nearly picked up a Boox Palma, which looks very slick. $300. I then found the Moaan Inkpalm lineup; the newest gen of their Inkpalm 5 has a decent rk3566 core and is $160.

This at $480 is a much steeper price, but for someone who is a strong reader it could make a lot of sense.

The Book Palma is great. I had been vaguely dissatisfied with other Boox devices--and it turns out, it was because they didn't have enough RAM and were too slow. The Palma is responsive enough to actually use for other things than reading. But, reading is the primary use case.

Yep my Palma works great as a pocket-size ereader that is also very capable for reading Wikipedia and web sites too. I typically use it tethered to my iPhone.

I picked up a Meebook M6 android e-reader for $170 and I've been enjoying it so far. As an e-book reader alone I would put it on par with a kindle, but the fact that I can access my local library's catalogue and use Pocket makes it much better option for me.
