I don't intend to use it as an e-book reader, instead to display information from the vehicle that I would like to see without looking away from the road.

Which means a specialized information display, with or without the mirror writing.

On a personal note (which rarely appears in a public discussion forum) . . . . .

Have you seen any of those movies based on the "old times" of military operations?
Where the CIC (Combat Information Center) has those transparent status boards with someone updating the information from the back side, while it is being read from the front?
Yup, that person doing the updating is "Galileo writing".

Been there, done that and bet I can write (or "Draftsman letter") English faster than Galileo could Latin.

(The above RTL would be easier to read if this editor had a font with the letter shapes mirrored - )
