Same, the first 13" colour e-ink that doesn’t cost more than a single limb I’m so getting if I can swing it. I read digit comic books so much and having it as e-ink is my dream.
If refresh rate and ghosting is reasonable for scrolling I could see myself using it. For movies and games I would just turn on second monitor.
I literally read all day, this would be fantastic. Books. Visual media has subtitles and usually is something I’m gonna Google further while watching/playing. I mostly consume text based social media and news.
… fuck I think I just want a newspaper
Much cheaper, no electricity required, no ChatGPT generated clickbait horseshit AND you can kill flies!
I’m seeing a lot of “ai” generated trash in the paper now :(
I feel like this could be a lame drinking game when bored: Is it AI generated or just bad/lazy writers?
Ooh I’d be great at that. I was trying to buy a pan on Amazon (I know…) and I scrolled past the reviews… without reading any of the words, I identified the first review I saw (not the LLM-generated summary, an actual review) as being LLM trash. I immediately said “AI” to my partner and we read it… they laughed when it ended up being OBVIOUS AI trash. I can tell by the shape of how words are laid out at this point apparently hahaha
Almost all of our GUI software was designed with high refresh rate screens in mind, so it can be clunky to use e-ink ones. If we had GUis based on section changing, instead of scrolling, it wouldn’t be a problem. On pcs, using the page up and down keys can be a workaround, but on phones, it’s complicated.
I dont want these small ones, I want a 55 inch one, so I can just have rotating art on the wall.
I’ve seen a 36 inch 3-color one, but I can’t find the supplier anymore. It’s used for signage. I honestly don’t know why this isn’t a bigger thing for signage.

Slightly smaller than the one I saw, but better colors.
I saw a few of these some years back and I thought, yes its ganna hit the commercial market and we will get better and larger. Then it just fell off into a pit.
Passively displaying any stuff is the holy grail, but we get there step by step.
Soooo glad it’s open-source!
Damn, I LOVE e-ink screens, I’d love to have almost all my devices using it, I love to read freely without getting eye strain from it. I’d even give away being able to watch videos in my phone for an e-ink screen.
But it seems like I will never be able to use it anywhere besides my cheap second hand ereader… the prices are always astronomically high :( even chinese e-ink tablets are too expensive for me.
It’s only 14,000 dollars and my first born female next of kin or better? What a deal!
