This should also be great for taking your laptop outdoors, and actually seeing something in the sun -- since eInk screens are like paper in sunlight, while LCDs disappear.

I'm surprised no-one has come up with an eInk based laptop yet. In the meantime this VNC based solution is a great substitute.

So, steps to get it working (from my understanding so far):

1. Enable USB connection for Kobo via hack.
2. Copy kvncviewer files over to Kobo.
3. Run the VNC server from laptop/computer.
4. Run kvncviewer through the command provided in the README in remote shell via USB connection.

Am I getting this right?
