Aren't there already Android tablets with eink screens?
- CrazyStat 2y agoYes. I have a Boox, and I’m quite happy with it. I don’t use many android apps, but the killer app for me (why I got it over a Remarkable or Kindle Scribe) is being able to run a Zotero-compatible app (Zoo for Zotero) with bidirectional sync for reading and marking up PDFs.
- jsheard 2y agoThere are but OP doesn't appear to be using e-ink, it's much too fast to be that. I would guess it's an unorthodox form of LCD display.
- CrazyStat 2y agoIt’s reflective LCD (RLCD).
- jsheard 2y agoBut with a backlight, which is novel I think?
- terramex 2y agoReflective LCD with backlight is called "transflective LCD" and they have been in use for years: https://newhavendisplay.com/blog/transmissive-vs-reflective-vs-transflective-displays/ https://newhavendisplay.com/blog/transmissive-vs-reflective-...
- eli 2y agoOhh neat. Like the Playdate
- nicksergeant 2y agoYeah the Playdate screen is lovely, but pretty rough without a backlight.
