I fear how breakable a touchscreen on e-ink might be.

Supplement. I also would prefer to KNOW that the device would work as expected.

That's what I feared.

I was hoping for pearl tech but unfortunately there are few pearl screens out there that actually met my requirements and were within my budget. Boox 90 was the only one that got close. The rest didn't have the right format support.


Thanks for the notes I did stick with the Hanlin (I went up a size to the V3)
I gave serious consideration to the Boox 60 and a tablet PC that fit my requirements but the LCD on the PC would be a hinderance and the touchscreen just made me uncomfortable (yes I understand I don't have to use it but the lingering fear of breakage if I took it anywhere would have made me miserable)
