A purpose-built laptop that just runs emacs at init and uses one of these as the display. I would buy one so hard. Hoping the ReMarkable will be simple enough hack that I could hook it up to my own cloud and use it as a terminal device. Would be nice to sketch lemmas in my handwriting and have a gesture recognition system pick it up and run it past a theorem prover, get back results. etc. I'm awaiting the arrival of…
Is this for real? "1233% funded on July 2, 2016", and they're not shipping 11 months later. They're not making e-ink panels; they just add a bezel and controller. The actual display may be an E-Ink Mobius.[1] That's 1600x1200 pixels on a 13.3" panel. The prototype they're showing may come from the dev kit for E-Ink. They'd just need to add an HDMI interface and repurpose a case from some other display. E-Ink is a nea…
Early LCDs had similar problems with pixels getting stuck and dying, from the data sheets which are available (they are quite old) for eInk displays their life span simply cannot coexist with a PC UI interface.
Even if the life span improved I'm guessing these guys had to optimize a lot of things including adding a scaled and a composer that would only refresh the pixels that absolutely must be refreshed in order to get any reasonable lifespan from these.
And I'm still not sure these would last anywhere near the time frame one would expect from a 1000$+ monitor with daily use.
Here's their real website: http://www.dasung.com/english/ I cannot wait for the day when large e-ink displays are cheap, or as cheap as normal screens, and have faster refresh rates.
I'd settle for cheap; I'd really like it as a second screen for mostly static documents, even if it can't have the refresh rate to be a primary display.
One place I worked had indirect solar spectrum light that bounced light off the ceiling. That really seemed to keep my eyes from getting tired.
Can you describe that in a bit more detail? Links? I'd love something like that.

I just want an 8.5" x 11" version that is portable, runs Linux, and can open PDFs. For reading papers you wouldn't be able to beat it.

You speak my language. Another thing I want is an e-ink only phone. I think for sure there is a market for that type of device.
