    I don’t think it’s a bad idea in principle, but what got me suspicious is that I couldn’t find the resolution anywhere on their page. From the only picture of the screen I found, it looks painfully low res:

        lol but that’s one of the benefits. You ever try to lay down and read? Shit is uncomfortable. With one of these you could just lie on your back on your bed which would be an awesome experience imo

      Also, a big selling point of e-ink is that it can be lit externally and match the color tone and brightness of your outside environment. If you’re blocking out the outside environment, what’s the point of e-ink?

        Even while lit, e-ink appears different than a backlit screen. Being front lit, it does still mimic a book being lit by a light. Eye fatigue is a big talking point when considering backlit vs frontlit displays.
