No no. You are not supposed to rick roll when showcasing display hacks. For displays you use Bad Apple.
That video has always felt unprofessional to me. I wish we'd choose something else.

Next time you do an interesting display mod or port, you can choose whatever video you like.

The good news, maybe, is that "E-Paper" (transflective LCD displays), capable of much higher refresh rates (60 -- 180 Hz), though with greater power draw and lacking E-Ink (electrophoretic) display's persistence, but otherwise sharing bright-light / daylit visibility, are starting to appear. What I've seen of E-Paper displays isn't especially encouraging on the cost front, as similarly-sized displays seem to have rou…
I’ve been using Daylight Computer’s new Android tablet for a while now, which has a 60fps reflective grayscale LCD screen. During the day it looks and behaves like E-paper, but with a much faster display rate. It’s also got a warm backlight for use at night. When the backlight is off the contrast is lower than the E-ink Carta panel used in the Remarkable and Boox tablets, but the backlight and fast refresh really hel…

#58This article completely glosses over what is presumably the first step of making this work, which is getting a shell on the Kindle. The only resource is some random forum bulletin board post? Huh?

Have you compared sessions where you're principally, say, reading books with a bookreader app vs. Web browsing, or using other apps?
My experience on the BOOX, an E-ink device, is that web browsing (Einkbro) consumes battery at ~10x the hourly rate that reading books (Neoreader) does. How much of that is active display, and how much is other CPU usage, I don't know.

#60An E-Ink device would be perfect to play nethack/slashem, MUDs, IF games, turn based games and Chess/Go.
