Hi,

I don't own an eDGe, but was thinking of buying a used one on eBay. That's because it seems like it might be able to do something I've wanted (external keyboard with eink), but since the company is out of business I'm having trouble finding a definitive answer – so I thought I'd turn to people who actually have them!

Basically, I'm not that interested in the LCD side of things. I'm wondering if there's a mode where only the eink side is on, prolonging battery life. If so, I'm wondering if an external keyboard can still be used with that side, turning it into a long-lifed eink writer.

It's a long shot, but I'm desperate.

Thanks!
