E-ink is not "paper feel". It's a super low-power display, it only consumes power when the content on it changes. Since it works by moving around physical pigment molecules inside little cells, the screen will continue showing the last thing that you put on it literally forever while consuming no power.
I have an e-ink tablet, the Boox Note Air 3 C, when I use it as an ereader or notetaker the battery lasts for weeks. A little less when I use it for web browsing or apps that change the content on the screen a lot.
- paulcole 2y ago> E-ink is not "paper feel". The paper-feel comes in large part from the physical part of the screen the pen touches not from the display itself.
- Almondsetat 2y agoThe paper feel also refers to the viewing experience
- paulcole 2y agoYes, that’s why I said, “in large part.” The person I was replying to thought it had entirely to do with the viewing experience which I don’t believe to be true.
- diggan 2y agoWhile E-ink is a large selling point of the Remarkable, I think parent is talking about another one of the selling points: That it feels like writing on paper with texture, rather than a glossy display (like iPad's display). It has nothing to do with E-ink, but about how it feels to write on the Remarkable display with the pen.
