The crispness of e-ink is 99% of what makes me want it for semi-static displays. It’s just ridiculously satisfying to look at.

More than any other piece of technology I own - phone, laptop, watch - my Kindle makes me happy. A big part of that is the display and it's paper-likeness.

I also love how simple it is. It’s a book of books. No distractions. It does what it does well. Waterproof. Battery lasts forever.

I’m getting into having more purpose-built gadgets even if they seem to 70% overlap with each other.

Reading a book on my phone or tablet just isn’t the same.

I just wish I could figure out a power scheme that would make it worth my trouble to use them as information radiators. Perhaps rechargeable batteries.

Displays like this would be a good candidate for wireless power schemes, but they aren’t sited in places with a good set of power scavenging options. Maybe solar.
