I'd love to have an e-ink monitor someday. I wouldn't need video-speed refresh (probably?) or even color, but programming without staring into a flashlight all day sounds really nice.
My monitor's brightness is already set at 4%.

Imagine how hard it would be to manipulate objects in real life if you had a half a second delay on what you felt and saw your hand do? Similarly, you'd better be very accurate at typing- you won't notice a typo until half a second later, by which time you've written 5 or 10 more characters. You could go back and fix each one later, but again, with the slow refresh the need for accuracy in knowing where you're typing now would be problematic. That said, I'm still excited. This tech is so lovely (I joined Amazon in part because I love my Kindle).

To test, connect to a remote site with 1Mbit uplink via RDP or VNC. It tends to drive you stark raving mad after an hour or so.
- dahjelle 10y agoGood points! It's hard for me to imagine what it would be like as I've not used my Kindle with that in mind—and, of course, the Kindle UI is adapted (at least somewhat) for e-ink limitations.
