Schnuggel · 11-17-2011, 12:22 PM

Hello everyone!

I would like to connect an e-book device (e-ink technology) to a personal computer and use it as a display device; i.e., the desktop computer sends images (JPG or so) to the device where they are rendered. A frequency of, say, a picture change every five seconds would be sufficient.

I'm aware of all the e-ink drawbacks (latency, limited gray scale range); however, what's absolutely mandatory for me is a display device that works with (and only with) ambient light.

Yet, I haven't even been able to pin down this problem to some keywords for google or this forum, so I hope some human intelligence might give me a hint. Any idea would be appreciated.

Best regards, Marius
