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.

I got rid of 600 pounds of paper this year in one go. Used bookstores got most of it. Took a couple months. Don't want more, just in case I have to move, if nothing else.

For those feeling the impulse to empty their wallets, I urge caution. I just got done being burned by the kickstarter for the goodreader equivalent. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reade... I see no evidence that the team behind this "remarkable" product has ever completed anything of this scale. Some of the claims are very suspicious. https://liliputing.com/2016/11/remarkable-10-3-inch-writing…

can you tell me how you got burned by that indiegogo campaign? Did you back the product and receive it?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

this is actually the problem we have solved (for epaper). Compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKmfyThA9Sg to https://youtu.be/34I27KPZM6g?t=52

While you have certainly made huge and impressive improvements, I still don't think I could call that "solved". I think any latency is still going to put people off when it comes to writing on this vs. paper.

A study completed by Annett and company makes a strong argument that improving latency beyond 50ms will have diminishing returns.
