I too like reading books on my kindle. The point is, as a display for a e.g. R-Pi it is close to the bottom of the price list when you consider that it comes with a built in wifi card. Basically, at $80, it beats just about every display ive seen people posting about and on top of it all it is e-ink. Pixel qi is nice, but theres no way to connect and it costs more than many netbooks. Also, to be crystal clear, certainly dont go anywhere near the 3G chip, unless to use the extra core that is rumored to be there. Trying to siphon free whispernet access would be incredibly foolish.

It would be nice if there was a way to meld the two systems together more seamlessly (less seamfully? both sound wrong) in such a way that screens, input devices, storage, processing resources are available equally distributed across all devices on the network. In other words to make all the systems behave as one system with many parts...
