(I don't know but...) I like the idea of an e-ink terminal, however I fear the slow refresh rate would make editing difficult. I guess someone somewhere has tried it though...
The specs of that particular one show no bluetooth (and no OTG usb), so can't connect a keyboard.
It also has no wireless apart from wifi; and only 512MB (though that's plenty for ssh!)
- mbrock 12y agoAh, I didn't realize the Micro-USB port wouldn't accept a keyboard. There are Android e-ink tablets with Bluetooth; I'll probably end up trying that. Also, difficult schmifficult! I bet ed, the standard editor, will work just fine. Shouldn't be much worse than, say, a 300 baud terminal!
- hyperpallium 12y agoYeah, it has to be "OTG" (on the go), aka "usb host". Seems relatively uncommon. Beats a line printer! Can relate - I'm ecstatic that (70s era) unix utilities are blazing instant on a phone. I'm sure vim would also work on an e-reader, if you don't need to find the cursor. I should research this. Working on e-ink/e-paper would be so much better on the eyes - and incredible battery life (they claim 2 months for the Kindle).
- szatkus 12y agoWell, I used Nook Simple Touch that way. Terminal were in fact sluggish, but AFAIR there was a hack to "overclock" refresh rate[0].
