#2I wonder if the screen is fast enough. I would love to work on an actual non-glowing screen.

My first thought was the same - if it performs like the "page flip" on the Kindle, I'd jump off a high building within minutes. But I've no idea if most of that delay is down to the screen or some combination of processing power and/or conserving power.

yeah it's actually not bad, the refresh is only on the character itself so it's workable. If you have a hacked kindle you can test with a terminal emulator, it give you a good idea of how fast the typing be.

I was thinking if they did make 20inches e-ink - I would love to have that for my shell only workload. Would be nice for the eyes, light and minimal!

#6I bought my Raspberry Pi a week ago, and I thought about the exact same thing! I have a Kindle 4, though.
Nice work!

Depends on what you want to do, and if you can override the clear-screen page blanking. As a benchmark, here's someone running a Playstation 1 emulator on an e-ink Nook:

#9I would love to use this as a novel way to force myself to learn vim.

#10I'd love to have a 24" or 30" USB-driven eInk screen or three for fairly static stuff like documentation. Running a terminal on an eInk display is probably less painful than repeatedly bashing your toes into a cinder block. Probably.
An iPhone would probably make a far better portable screen.
Cool hack, though.
