Ah, 90s kids' nostalgia. How fun was it to start a large download before school and then running home to see if the download completed or was interrupted because your mom used the phone during the day? I remember it would take hours upon hours to download netscape. It was both exhilarating and infurating at the same time.
I'd buy one of these for a picture frame, to have changeable art. Sounds nuts (?), but at some point a big one of these would cost less than a painting and you have it change to suit your mood.
...and I've been postponing buying an E-ink device in hopes of getting a color one!
One of my main excuses has been the fact color is useful for programming books because you have syntax highlighting. Now I'm realizing reflective color screens may never really come, and it's probably better to devise some kind of software workaround. Some kind of system that would replace colored fonts with a system of very distinctive set of typefaces that work well in B&W.
My oldest son is a voracious reader, and I would love to get him on an e reader, but I don't want to go for a traditional screen, so the lack of color e ink type option kinda stops me.
He reads just about anything but I'm not inclined to make an investment in a device that wouldn't include graphic novels and similar color content. I just don't think it would last.
I read a lot of comics, but I also read a lot of regular books. For now, I read using a 10" Chuwi tablet because it gives me a decent, color screen, at a decent size and weight, at a reasonable price.
I would LOVE to have an eink reader that could fulfill this role. I have been watching and waiting for years.
