I have problems with eyes, so I really want to be able BROWSE internet using e-ink (not to load page on LCD, convert it to e-ink page, read it, and return to LCD to find an link, click on it... and so on). Too complicated.

So still waiting for e-ink SDK, to made this by myself :-(
Back in January, I asked Entourage if they had any plans for supporting web browsing on the Eink side. They told me no but they would look into html => pdf/epub conversion so you can read it on the Eink display. I am thrilled that they followed through. This is probably very useful if it works correctly. But I am somewhat disappointed that we will not be able to use the Eink display in landscape mode even with the new release. Engineers might be thinking too hard on this one. All we really need is to be able to rotate the PDF document. This should be easily done within the Reader application. Most PDF readers, if not all, offer this function.
