Full disclosure - I've already ordered one because I am excited to try and develop out in the sunshine, and laptop screen isn't cutting it. This is USB powered, and I'm hoping it will be good enough for text editor. Anyone had experience with these or any other e-ink devices?
I was really excited about e-ink technology, but it seems that there is very little innovation in this space, and I can't help but think this will really help for reading articles etc. too.
- linuxkerneldev 10y ago> there is very little innovation in this space A lot of E-Ink based projects got stepped on within large MNCs because LCD vendors dropped their prices significantly whenever development teams talked about switching. Plus LCD and backlight power consumption rates improved quite a bit and the management level people insist on the ability to play video.

I was really excited with some very promising demos etc. but I am frustrated that this seems to be the only device to have made it into production, and that is only available as direct by from China, nobody is retailing these!
