Those clearink demo does not look like crap. If they will put out something good and cheap enough, we will buy it. Also, it's something that i think we need to personally see. Story: I heard speaking about kindles for months and i didn't got why a reasonable person should buy just another device to stack up with smartphone, tablet and laptop just for reading, just because the battery was lasting a month. Who will ever want to read on a screen. Then i saw some exposed waiting for a commute plane. And first thought was "oh, why they left a printed demo film on the turned off screen!" |

Sadly Mirasol is Qualcomm, almost patent trolls. There was a model used it, with two bookshop brandings in Asia. The Royalty costs are too high. Also Qualcomm famously "double dips", their royalty charge is based on total price of anything using their technology.

That's bad news. A big advantage of eink is that it's almost totally insensitive to viewing angle, unlike LCD.
That would be a big fail if it's much worse than LCD. |

But back on topic. Great viewing angles are a must. I am a complete screen nazi. I think we will get color one day. But I think Amazon will release its own crypto currency before we get it. |

(a) this is not the place for unsolicited medical advice; (b) there is no evidence Moringa is helpful in RA, there are adverse effects with some parts of the plant being particularly toxic, it is not necessarily safe in pregnancy, and it has the potential for significant drug interactions.

Perhaps a resurgence of the hard buttons for paging? A boon for those of us who nibble while reading & dipping a hand into a bag of chips.

They want to save the 30c, so unlikely, esp. with stupid fashion to have no 3.5mm jack or buttons on phones & tablets.
