Argh! I had just forgot about that demo and have been dreaming of a similar device ever since I saw it. Makes me quite sad that no one seems to believe in a market for such a device.
If it weren't for the iPad I believe we would have gotten so much further with eink devices.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI continue to think this would be a pretty awesome ipad/kindle app. The whole 'remote printer' where you implement lpr in the app, can turn it on and off when you need it and then 'print' to it as probably pdf documents. Instapaper does this pretty well for web sites but if you could include folks who had legacy applications/machines which just wanted to review the printout 'offline' it would be pretty cool.

I've been waiting for an A4 eInk reader that could switch pages faster (so I could browse documentation) since 1998. Now I use a retina iPad -- and for the first time in my life, I easily read books and documents off a screen. I used to print everything.
