So, it looks great but a) does it have a backlight b) can I sync it with my own server instead of some 3rd party cloud service?
no backlight, and as I explained above we can't promise anything other than what is written on the webpage already wrt. features.
I'll be interested in this when the latency and DPI can keep up with the pace of natural handwriting.
What a joke. these people don't understand the economics of these devices nor do they have the subsidies and distribution leverage of the big players. Kickstarter isn't enough to make this pig fly.
Who priced this thing?
It is however, a great idea.
Believe it or not, this is a product that could save an incredible number of lives over time, by allowing us to spend more time outdoors: http://sunlightinstitute.org/research-studies/
It's (partially) replacing paper. You can already take paper outside.
Looks really cool. Hope you guys nail it. I'm hoping to see more and more e-ink offerings. For myself, I would like a 50" curved e-ink monitor for work, black and white is fine.

the primary reason i purchased an kobo aura one is the red led back light, so i can read at night without messing with my sleep cycle. it's a killer feature. you'd be wise to consider it.
This is a lot closer, but still too far off the mark. It's still orders of magnitude inferior in terms of lag, convenience, and reliability, while being orders of magnitude more expensive.
