I can't help but wonder if the benefits of e-ink are as good in the format of goggles/glasses. I'm skeptical, for sure, but it is an interesting form factor. Also a interesting decision that they work with your phone, so the glasses don't need to have much on board storage. Would anybody here use something like this? Definitely seems ultra-niche.

Absolutely not the target audience for this, like I'm somebody who still buys tons of physical books on top of my eReader/tablet and a big part of the appeal of an e-reader is not being too far removed from the experience of reading a physical book. Also, I cannot imagine having my vision basically blotted out by glasses to read, feel like that would give me a huge sensory freakout.
