Hi yall, founder of Daylight here. Happy to answer any questions you have. Long time lurker, so this is pretty cool to finally take part :) I made this because I wanted the eye-strain free and minimalist qualities of my kindle/Eink applied to so much more of what I do on a computer. Lack of speed and ghosting felt like it made traditional Eink impossible to do most computing tasks. So we focused on making the most Pa…

But then I saw the price tag, and that it’s only 190 ppi. That killed it immediately for me. I hated the first few generations of Kindle because of the low resolution display. I think it’s unbearable in an e-ink display. And the price is a bit outrageous for what it offers..
Any more specific numbers on battery life? I see it says "days" on the website, but I'm curious if there's an hours number with usage condition specified (ie, screen on, reading a book, etc.)
- reading without amber backlight: 67 hours - youtube without amber backlight: 30 hours - reading with 30% amber brightness: 30 hours

Is there a video of someone playing Doom?
I got super hyped first when I saw all the details. I use a Boox Page and love the device. This would be a super nice addition which could act as a fully functional tablet.

- with monochrome pixels (ie no RGB subpixels), resolution is not really apples to apples.. things look a lot crisper subjectively than their objective resolution spec
i think a bunch of early customers have tweeted out their reactions to resolution/crispness. id encourage you to ask them for their feedback if you were still curious
not claiming its perfect, just that its not as bad as you think it is.
(PS we chose this resolution specifically cuz it results in a larger aperture ratio which enables a brighter screen.. we had other experiments at 220-240ppi, but we couldn't really tell a difference in resolution, and the brightness difference was palpable)
PPS on price - not much we can do here, extremely difficult to get even the price we did on low batch totally new custom displays.. we're proud of what we're able to do, but we understand there's a tesla roadster effect of sorts.. starts our expensive, and successive generations will ride the cost curve down tremendously
but cant get there without early supporters. so you choose anon! more economical samsung, or more pricey (but worth it?) indies like us!
Oof. I hope the tablet is better than the website. I think I need to switch to a device with a dedicated GPU to see it right. My laptop is struggling, and it's running a 12th gen i5. They seem to be using a video provider that can't keep up either. Still, the tablet looks exciting, especially since it's based on Android. I'm curious as to how they overcame the refresh rate issue that plagues so many similar displays.

Looks great, albeit a high price point. Why not a newer Android?
if launch goes well, the team's gonna get a lot bigger and you can expect us being able to do much more on the AOSP/android side

Huge congrats! I've been dreaming of something like this for a while - instant pre-order!
i wish people could understand how hard it is to survive low volume novel consumer electronics.. not meant to solicit pity, but to appreciate why we're all just stuck with big tech after indie company after indie company fail
This seems right up my alley. Although, $800 seems steep.
The new Supernote A5X2 is due this year... at probably half the price? Granted it doesn't have the 60fps display, but it definitely has a bunch of other features. Is the 60fps worth $400 more?
