"If you want an eReader, go for a Nook or Kindle"

Don't even consider the range of Android-based e-Ink readers and notepads, in screen sizes from 7 to 13 inches, such as:

• Boox Nova, Air, Lumi etc
• QuirkLogic Papyr
• Ratta Supernote

There are hours of reviews on these products, here: https://www.youtube.com/c/MyDeepGuide/videos

Using a phone as the key is still a single point of failure. Not good.

So, you lose your phone and what happens? 

The app is MacOS or iOS only, even though the drive works with Windows.

"Security researchers have discovered a way to covertly hijack Siri and other smartphone digital assistants using ultrasonic waves, sounds that cannot be normally heard by humans. " These sound waves are inaudible by definition. This is like saying human skin may sustain damage when exposed to ultraviolet light, that is not normally visible to the human eye. So we don't know if the ultrasonics just wake up the device or if the phones' microphone is responsive directly to these sound waves. Most camera sensors [and snake eyes] have a different spectrum of response than the human eye. See, for example, infrared pictures taken with commercial camera sensors. It makes sense that most microphones respond to a different sound spectrum than the human ear. We know dogs can hear higher frequencies than humans.

Imran Chaudhri (left) and Bethany Bongiorno (right)

Not that I am into stereotyping or anything (much), but I am glad you clarified who was who.

Imran is a common male name; Bethany is typically a female name. What's to clarify?
