I wanna to buy e-ink tablet as well! Who cares this technology is slow and has just one color now? To see dithered web pages or work with some progs it is not a prob. E-ink is best technology to protect our eyes, when reading. Best technology to enlarge stamina of the device. Not LCD, but E-ink is the future, by my opinion. LCD is obsolete technology, E-ink will be improved soon. When people will feel fed up of colors just for colors, they would realize where are real values. Device that holds 4 weeks per one charging, device readable on direct sun, device that protect our eyes. To read information is E-ink the best tech ever.

I guess the main reason e-ink tablets are low energy is that you don't have to supply charge to maintain an image on the screen, and when you are reading a book you don't refresh that much.

However, for other uses where you have to refresh the screen often (many times a second for video) the energy cost has to be higher. A rooted e-ink tablet battery doesn't last so long if you are e.g. playing a card game and refreshing once a second. On top of that, many common applications have a lot more processor usage than a book reader, which has to be paid for in battery life.

It is not e-ink, but a new display technology. Current readers are 5.7" only, I am waiting for a tablet with this display.

The most recent update on that page is from December 2011, and is to discuss the Kyobo reader, which has now been discontinued.
Mirasol is not looking healthy, at the moment.

Now I just want the glowlight model.

It's such a pity nobody is making a purpose built eink tablet. As for those who say it's a waste because you can't watch movies or play animations or sounds on it, well that's what battery hungry LCD tabs are for. I use mine for reading.
