I wonder if the screen is fast enough. I would love to work on an actual non-glowing screen.
Depends on what you want to do, and if you can override the clear-screen page blanking. As a benchmark, here's someone running a Playstation 1 emulator on an e-ink Nook: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/9877-psx-emul...

The part I prefer the most is when he uses 'long suit' instead of 'strong suit'.

I hope these take off, because I also would love to not be staring into a lamp for hours per day.

My first thought was the same - if it performs like the "page flip" on the Kindle, I'd jump off a high building within minutes. But I've no idea if most of that delay is down to the screen or some combination of processing power and/or conserving power.

Pixel Qi makes some sort of sunlight-readable display for netbooks: http://pixelqi.com/products I hope these take off, because I also would love to not be staring into a lamp for hours per day.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
I'd love to have a 24" or 30" USB-driven eInk screen or three for fairly static stuff like documentation. Running a terminal on an eInk display is probably less painful than repeatedly bashing your toes into a cinder block. Probably. An iPhone would probably make a far better portable screen. Cool hack, though.
That said, I still have a couple of broken laptops here and want to check out if I can connect the lcd displays to my Raspberry Pi in the future. When I don't fail at basic googling skills to get past all the inverse projects (replacing a broken screen instead of reusing a working screen from a laptop).
