I freely admit I haven't. I just rely on the fact that I have yet to see a review for an e-ink browser that praises the browsing experience. The reaction ranges from "don't bother" to "it caused me to weep." And what I've seen on YouTube, scrolling looks terrible.

Linking this to the future of e-ink tablets, hey, if they work, great. I'm ignorant about the technical details behind e-ink. Other users here obviously know more than me. But I wonder: If color e-ink shows so much promise, why aren't Google, Samsung and/or Apple investing heavily in the technology?
