    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:

      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.
