That would be awesome. I have ordered the Remarkable and would like to use it as a dashboard connected to my computer. Just to display time, the calendar and other information which needs to be updated only very infrequently.
- moonbug 6y agothat's mental.
- _ph_ 6y agoDoesn't mean, I wouldn't use it for its advertised purposes too. But I really would like an eInk display as an add-on to my computer - unfortunately, the Kindle is not so open. Would also be great as an extra screen for e.g. man pages while you are working on your main screen.

Three-bit greyscale pixels. (I don't have one.)

- eichin 6y agoI don't know if the remarkable does this, but the onyx boox max 2 has an hdmi input (on some tiny connector.) I've used it from my laptop as a second screen, and displayed emacs and xterm on it. Really need to craft up some kind of bracket to use it as an outdoor primary laptop screen...

- _ph_ 6y agoThanks for the link, that looks interesting. I have to see, where I could buy it (Amazon doesn't ship it to Germany). I will certainly check this out for tinkering with my Pie. Of course, I wouldn't buy the ReMarkable just for using it as a second display, but that would be an added value, if it could be done with some more software I can install on it. My main usage would be as a reader/note tool.
- mkl 6y agoWaveshare have lots of such screens, big, small, some colour: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1.htm https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1....
