I bet people would pay good money for a Framework display module that's usable eInk. (Assuming it can use the same display connector.) https://frame.work/products/display-kit?v=FRANGX0001 https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Display+Replacement+Guide/86...

What is the magazine article they’re flipping through?

Indeed. Another advantage of this tablet over Remarkable is that it should be possible to set up synchronization with many more cloud services, including Nextcloud. Remarkable is limited to the biggest commercial cloud providers.
Furthermore, reMarkable doesn't actually sync anything. You can download files from the cloud but it's a one-way, user-initiated thing
It’s £3/month after the first year, but it still syncs. https://remarkable.com/store/connect
IMO, the software will be the most important part of the device, not necessarily the screen. What makes the Remarkable great is that it's functionality (while limited) makes for an excellent experience. Any more details on what apps will be built in and designed for the device? (not just 3rd party Android apps that will feel like any other tablet). Also - I would order this immediately to support more e-ink devices,…
KOReader is great for Eink devices. I used it both on my Remarkable and Kindle. It's made for paper like displays. It already has an android version.
I have the remarkable and the main reason I don't use it and use an android tablet (with a normal screen) instead is because of the remarkable's bad software support; can't sync documents and notes securely (e2ee) using standard tooling. Put money in supporting mainline linux distributions and I will buy this in a heartbeat. Many would.

Since IIRC Shortcuts is actually pretty clunky, it's probably easier to use Control Center to toggle grayscale, which is possible after you add the control named "accessibility shortcuts" using {settings > control center}. That is what I use. (And on Gnome, I use and recommend the following: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4012/gnome-bedtime/ )
On iOS, you can also set up the “accessibility shortcut” (settings -> accessibility -> accessibility shortcut), which lets you triple-click the home button to enable it.
I use triple-back for "grayscale" (because I found myself double-tapping the back accidentally all the time.)
Hi yall, founder of Daylight here. Happy to answer any questions you have. Long time lurker, so this is pretty cool to finally take part :) I made this because I wanted the eye-strain free and minimalist qualities of my kindle/Eink applied to so much more of what I do on a computer. Lack of speed and ghosting felt like it made traditional Eink impossible to do most computing tasks. So we focused on making the most Pa…
I can really see how this will make meetings, 1:1s, reviews, blogging, and designs at work way WAY more deep and engaging than with my MacBook. And perhaps it'll help me get into reading more, as well!
I think a nice demo can be Duolingo on it - it's something I do everyday so moving to this device could help me in that :)

What would lock you in? It's Android, most of your data on apps is going to be saved to the cloud on individual accounts, and pdfs are going to be yours. I'm not sure what would lock you in.
That's absolutely something I do not want after paying almost 800 dollars. Why do you assume that I want to sync my data to the cloud? I maybe want to rsync my stuff to another device of my own. Will I need an account to access the Android store? Again something I don't either want and dislike. And finally will I need to customize it to have root access? I also don't want to do that, I should fully own the thing and…

Can I run my own software on it? I would love to buy an epaper portable of some sort, but the fact that they're all locked down is a no go. One day I'll live my dream of vim in the forest grove.
That would be any Android tabled - supposedly E-Ink based - with Termux installed...
