Hi, just curious if there had been any requests for a E-Ink display? I understand the limitations with refresh rates, burning etc. and that the use cases are limited to document reading; but considering this is a DIY/Modular laptop I wonder whether offering an optional E-Ink display crossed your mind.
P.S I browse HN on my Kindle Oasis and found your site to be rendered very well on it. Most minimalist sites does work very well on an E-Ink display.
- mntmn 7y agoYep, the original plan was to have an option with a Plastic Logic display. But the displays are expensive and an extra big project to get to work well for a general purpose computer. But an interesting option for later.
- Abishek_Muthian 7y agoYes, costs of larger E-Ink display have been prohibitive; I've been told its due to the low volume production. Btw, €100 Hisense E-ink display phones are supposedly about to hit the market[1]. Perhaps they have their own factory or has found ways to minimize the cost, if so it should be worthwhile to check them out.
