There are off the shelf laptops with e-ink now: https://goodereader.com/blog/product/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-13-inch-dual-screen-laptop-with-e-ink https://goodereader.com/blog/product/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-1... It's technically dual screen, e-ink and OLED that rotate, but even better, you can choose the best one for the job.

The one in the linked article doesn't rotate. You may mean https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/5/23541379/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-twist-e-ink-oled-laptop https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/5/23541379/lenovo-thinkbook-... which will be available in summer and is pretty pricey.

  $1650 isn't cheap, but it's pretty normal for the high end of mid-range ultrabooks. It's less than I paid for my M2 MacBook Air, which has neither OLED nor E-Ink. Truly high-end laptops easily go for $2500+, but it is nice that more budget-friendly (sub-$1000) options that aren't terrible do exist these days. I'm certainly excited to see reviews for that Lenovo laptop when it comes out.

You can't type on the e-ink side though. That would be the best, a simple laptop with an e-ink display, a good keyboard, nothing more. You could work anywhere you could also read a book!

  They linked to the wrong laptop. See https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/5/23541379/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-twist-e-ink-oled-laptop https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/5/23541379/lenovo-thinkbook-... The one they linked to does not have OLED or rotate, even though they claimed otherwise. Clearly they meant to link to the new version.

Sweet! Since I started hacking on the v1 Kindle I've been waiting for this.
