If you're a really avid reader, you may resent the visual distractions that keep you from becoming thoroughly immersed in a book. That's where the Sol Reader comes in, as it fills your vision with text.
Seems like a solution in search of a problem. I use my e-reader specifically because it’s very similar to reading a real book. This is… not that, nor is it going to be compelling to my 9 year old, who just views books as one more type of content to be consumed on a general purpose device.
I do like the idea of headsets with adjustable diopters. My glasses only barely fit into current hardware.
There are certainly times where I’d like to just lay back in bed or on a plane not holding anything in my hands and just tune out the world and read a book with absolutely no distractions. So I can see the appeal. But yes I do think it’s kind of a niche thing and one that likely wouldn’t be a full replacement for an e-reader, which makes it’s cost hard to justify.
