Does anyone remember if there was a technology under consideration that would do that? Some dim memory I have says there was something like a layer of e-ink or something over a standard screen that could be activated at will.
Then again, maybe I've been reading too much SF.  |
No, your memory is fine. PixelQi is what you're looking for.

Be warned that all batteries will drain themselves, even if the device is turned off... I don't read from my BeBook Mini in winter while waiting for my ride home (either it's too wet, too cold to keep my hands out of my pockets, or simply too dark), so it's often empty when I try to read from it again after a long hiatus
