Saw this recently: https://www.xteink.com/products/xteink-x4 The xteink devices are small e-readers designed to magnetically attach to the back of your phone. I'm still planning on going with an Android devices for my next e-book, but these fill a really cool niche! Lets you separate out reading from your phone onto the better screen technology for barely any additional pocket volume.
There's also an open source firmware for it called Crosspoint: https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to use it to mirror your phone's screen or to send websites to it from the phone, but it's a neat form-factor, and I'm sure it'll be useful to a lot of people.
