I like e-ink, but not that much.
Am I going crazy, or is there no way on the website to actually buy this?
You have to click on "buy" in the top banner first, even though it looks like it's already selected.
I was moderately excited when I saw the photos, but wow those prices! 900 € for a 13 inch screen? For comparison, you can get a 55" Samsung Frame TV for cheaper than that. Digital photo frames are under $100. I like e-ink, but not that much.
But they are not there yet.
I love black and white but this is not much better than framing a page from a newspaper -- which has an appeal this does not.
loosely related is inkplate, which is a wall-mountable DIY e-ink project:
This is nice, and very refined. It's nice that it is standalone and doesn't force you to go through an app or "the cloud". loosely related is inkplate, which is a wall-mountable DIY e-ink project: https://www.crowdsupply.com/search?q=inkplate
don't you need to charge them eventually? so you end up taking them down a lot. they should think about wireless charging pads that can be installed into the wall for these sorts of things.
Very much on the DIY end, but I made a similar e-ink art piece that shows off the currently playing song on Spotify. I used a 3 colour display to add some flair :) It’s not the easiest to set up yourself - need to generate Spotify API keys and build the unnecessary separate binary for dithering, but here’s the project if anyone is interested! https://github.com/CampbellOwen/NowPlaying
