But then I have to bring along a charger when I'm on the road. Not having to bring a charger e.g. when you go on vacation is supposed to be a speciality of eink. That's no showstopper, though.

Well eink doesn't allow for those kinds of speeds yet. At least not production ready eink. Pagefliptimes are between 600ms and 2 seconds. 2 seconds i get sometimes, probably due to power management being in effect.
Ah, so when you wrote "fast", you didn't actually mean "fast" but "decent speed compared to other eink devices". Fair enough.
Well, I guess I'll be waiting for Gen4 (or Gen5).
