Depressing but insightful article. But perhaps a bit premature; the e-ink folks are presumably still researching better techniques, and someday we'll almost certainly have e-ink that works in colour (in a CMY space, no less!) and with update times well south of a tenth of a second, and then you can have your cake and eat it too---at least on the readability part.
The distraction part of the argument I don't really have a response to, alas.
- nir 17y agoThe experience he describes of reading the NYT on the iPad is just like reading it online, they way most NYT readers consume it now. For that matter, it's like reading the paper NYT in a room that has a TV on. Yet, reading is still alive. So we live in an ADD culture. We've been living in it at least since the invention of the Remote. The iPad is completely meaningless in that sense, even if it will manage to become more than a true-believer product.
