I really hope this is really going to be released. And I really hope this technology can be integrated with standard Linux desktops.
The ability to read PDF's on paper-white would be really nice.
The ability to read/write code on the paper-white would probably improve the lives of many developers, myself included.
- sebular 8y agoI've been hunting for an e-paper coding solution for a while and have yet to find a solution that works well. The best I've seen is the Onyx Boox Max 2, which has HDMI input: https://onyxboox.com/boox_max2 https://onyxboox.com/boox_max2 Unfortunately, aside from being prohibitively expensive they're apparently difficult to get in the US. Amazon and Wal-Mart both have them listed for sale but refuse to actually ship them to my address.
- gravypod 8y agoYou can get that now with the Onyx Boox Max 2 [1] which as a built in HDMI display input. [1] - https://onyxboox.com/boox_max2 https://onyxboox.com/boox_max2
- cjhanks 8y agoTo save people time: http://www.ectaco.com/onyx-boox-max/ http://www.ectaco.com/onyx-boox-max/ And not to be too cynical. But has anybody ever tried them an found them to work well? $800 is an expensive experiment.
- newen 8y agoSome googling and apparently you can buy e-ink display modules for relatively cheap [1]. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether you can hook this up to a keyboard, whether that's practical, and what that might be like?
