It’s actually running a modified version of Android, so you have a lot of possible functionality. For example, YouTube and Google Drive technically work. However, the low refresh rate means that you’re not really incentivized to do anything else other than read.
I think it’s just very good at what it does, which is display ebooks at a very large size. It also comes with a stylus to draw and markup text, but I don’t really use that.
I care a lot about visuals, so the e-ink display (as opposed to just an iPad Pro) is a really big pro for me. If you’re fine with a backlit display and want to be able to multitask in any reasonable capacity, the iPad is probably still better.
