Ha that video is not a fast update rate. It's just only updating a small bit of the screen at a time so you can't really see the slowness. Modern kindles are pretty fast but not video speed, and they still have to blank the screen after a few updates.

Yes, obviously I'm not going to be linking to a video showing a technology that doesn't exist yet.

The video serves to demonstrate that given some technological development the entire screen could be like that, and aside from that there are E-Ink screens in common use that can't refresh even such a small area that fast.

It's unfortunate that so much of this specific content is locked up as video. The part is $35 shipped on AliExpress, a great way to begin experimenting.

Unedited video is the fastest kind of content to produce, and the slowest to consume.

Unfortunately for me even edited video is still tougher to consume than the written word, when it comes to technical​ content.

I have a much easier time digesting information​ at my own pace.
