I was just looking at the eink device market a few days ago. I have a dream e-ink product in mind. It's really just an iPad with a color e ink screen. Boox seems to be the leader with tons of different products (looked at remarkable, supernote, kobo, Boox). I wish apple would make an e ink tablet - I would buy that in an instant. I want to be able to mark up anything and share it - epub, pdf, mobi, etc. I'd also love a large, high refresh rate, color e ink monitor for coding.

I wish someone would make a tablet w/ a transflective display to replace my Fujitsu Stylistic ST-4110 --- currently rocking a Samsung Galaxy Book 12, but I've had to roll back to Windows build 1703 twice now, and it's simply not usable in bright, direct sunlight. Pre-ordered a Kindle Scribe, so I'll have 3 devices w/ Wacom styluses (also a Galaxy Note 10+ and the afore-mentioned Galaxy Book 12), one of which will work in direct sunlight. Surprised that there wasn't any mention of the availability of maps for the Kindle Scribe. While I'd like to see nifty features such as: - use as a second display - use as a graphics tablet (while being used as a second display) so long as it works as: - an ebook reader - one can take notes - one can write out documents and transfer them (and notes) to a desktop (w/ or w/o handwriting recognition, hopefully w/) I should be fine. That said, I'd like to see Nebo.app or some equivalent for the Kindle Scribe.

How long do you think is it until high refresh rate, color e-ink displays become a thing? What is a "high" refresh rate when it comes to e-ink? I'm very curious about this technology, but haven't looked into it much.

  I think it's in the order of magnitude of ~5 years until the refresh rate is good enough. I meant high refresh rate in context of eink screens today. I want a refresh rate nearly as good as a normal monitor (~120) but I'd be happy ~100 too. EInk seems to be anywhere from 15-70 (hard to pin this down) so still some work is needed.
