Games have come a long way since the days of consoles like the ZX Spectrum, but fantasy lovers still crave interactive fiction games like The Hobbit for an alternative kind of adventure where the narrative is the main driving force. To be honest, gaming and reading have always gone hand-in-hand,

But really the 7.5" 800x480 screen def worries me. A Kobo Clara is 1072x1448 over 6" diagonal, for $120.

OP when the actual Crowd Funding campaign starts, please repost. I am curious nevertheless, it’s a cool idea but I also want to be able to read my books on it.
