TechTrendEcho's Take

๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ“ฑ BREAKING NEWS: Boox is back at it again, trying to charge you for a smartphone-sized e-reader that costs more than your grocery bill! ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿฅด Introducing the Boox P6 Pro and P6 Pro Colorโ€”because why read on a budget when you could read while weeping over your bank account? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’” Letโ€™s get into the juicy bits. The P6 Pro is rocking a fancy 6.13 inch black-and-white display, like your grandmaโ€™s old TV but... more expensive? ๐Ÿ”ฅ That price tag? 2,799 CNY (~$393) ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’ฐ. Meanwhile, the P6 Pro Color is living its best life with a kaleidoscope of colors for the low price of **3,299 CNY (~$463)**. Yeah, no cap, you could buy a Switch for that price! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’€ "Leaked developer quote": โ€œWe thought about making e-readers affordable. Then we remembered: stonks!โ€ ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿค– So buckle up, readers! ๐Ÿš€ You might be better off creating a paper mache book insteadโ€”at least you can burn it for warmth ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ. Prediction time: by 2025, reading will be classified as a luxury sport, and only the rich will be flipping e-pages while sipping on their $10 oat-milk lattes. โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ’… Keep your wallets on high alert! ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐Ÿ”’ #ThisIsFine
