What is the appeal of e-ink? I breathed a sigh of relief that it was not based on e-ink - a technology that isn't up to the task of doing what this device can do.
- Kejistan 17y agoe-ink's appeal is in the fact that it is beautiful to read off of. I do however agree that its not the right display tech for this device.

- minalecs 17y agoeye fatigue... imagine when you stare at a computer screen too long, reading now... your eyes get tired from strain, you could get burning sensation, glare, dry eyes.. all this could lead to bigger health concerns. Thats why e-ink is superior. People have reported issues with led and sight. If you want an ebook reader, the kindle,nook , and ereader are all superior for a hard core ebook reader. links : http://www.computervisionreadingeyeglasses.com/eye_fatigue_symptoms.htm http://www.computervisionreadingeyeglasses.com/eye_fatigue_s... problems with led: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1677617&tstart=0 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1677617...
- intellectronica 17y agoe-ink is the only real replacement for reading of paper (as of today). All other screens simply don't cut it - the resolution is way too low, they flicker, and you'll find that you can't read from them for too long without getting tired.
