Pros:
- 12 month operation with a set of standard AA batteries (claimed)
- Sun-readable display
- No WiFI connection needed

Cons:
- Price a bit steep (I might get one for 40$)
- Monochrome, low-res screen
- Target audience might not know about it, given it's a webshop.

Unknown:
- No easily possible to load other content?
