I think E-ink would be pretty slow to react, but maybe high-resolution PixelQi or Mirasol displays.

- wlesieutre 15y agoI'm ok with slow to react, it would be really handy to have a page sized E-ink viewer that text programs could push content to. I wouldn't use an ebook reader enough to make it worth the expense, but without having to include memory, buttons, or much of anything beyond a USB connection and screen, it might be within my price range.

- esrauch 15y agoThe tech doesn't require a screen refresh, if you don't refresh the screen it leaves behind "ghost" letters. They flash the entire screen because if you just wrote all white to a screen that had letters, you would still be able to see a difference between pixels that were previously white and pixels that were previously black. You would have to choose between an entire screen refresh on backspace or leaving it slightly messy looking.
