1. Nowhere near as simple as what they’re describing. 2. Requires network connectivity.

  Right and also there's a full linux under there with numerous processes running, waiting for touch and other i/o events, updating the display and RAM. Not great if you want weeks long battery. I would like to imagine an e-ink operating system like what Kindle has: a hardware off by default mode, unless a physical button press is given. It wakes instantly, does its job, as complicated as needed, and then goes right back to hard off until the next wake.

    That would be super cool if it just showed up as a PTY device, plugged in to the USB.

  Yes it’s more complex, but it does also accomplish what they’re asking with something like the Boox ereaders. Network connectivity isn’t required, you can do this in adb. Battery: sure, running android means you’re not getting the life you would see on a Kindle, but it’s significantly better than a traditional tablet.
