Amazon should do a tablet with a LCD screen on one side and eInk on the other. They can share a lot of components (battery, CPU, radios), so it may not be as bulky as one might think. And then you could read a book inside on LCD, step outside, flip the device over and you're reading the same page in eInk. Likewise for webpages.
- sliverstorm 15y agoThere is, or at least was, actually at least one dual LCD/eInk display. It is called the Pixel Qi.
- kenjackson 15y agoYeah the Pixel Qi and Mirasol displays just never looked very good IMO. I saw the Notion Ink Adam videos in sunlight and it didn't look very good. Nothing like the Kindle. I think the technology to do both in a single display is just not there. Otherwise I think Amazon would have used it.
