It's gonna cost like $5000 because of all the eink patents, huh.
I would LOVE an eink display to help my tired eyes while I'm emacsing. But the patent BS and the high costs make it impractical for me to spend that much scratch at this time.
- alex-a-soto 3y agoNo, the high price of an e-ink device is not due to patents; it has more to do with market size, need, constraints of the device, suitable use cases, and many other socio-economic factors that come into play. With that said, we hope to offer different products at different price ranges.
- foul 3y agoI'm very interested in your knowledge of the eink market, until today I thought it was some kind of cartel.
- Qwertious 3y agoE-ink isn't particularly expensive, only compared to LCDs. And LCDs are cheap because they have massive economy of scale - they sell literally billions of screens per quarter.
