I bought a greyscale eink tablet that I use as a monitor. It is fantastic. I find myself much more able to concentrate while using it.

  I'm interested in hearing more about this. Does the tablet itself double as monitor, or was it a hack?

The refresh rate isn't perfect, but its more than good enough for my usage (emacs, looking at docs)

      Cool, thanks for the link. > The refresh rate isn't perfect, but its more than good enough for my usage (emacs, looking at docs) I really like the idea of an e-ink terminal and text editor.
