If you ask me, where can we be going with eink?
A lot of the ideas have been around for years.
What many still are requesting is:
1- A comic book size screen (10"), as a dedicated comic book and pdf reader, with front lit screen
2- plastic bendable e-ink screens, instead of glass, for lighter weight and more flexible devices.
3- longer battery life by giving the ability to turn off the front led, and larger battery or greater density.
4- greater battery life, by using multi-core processors, at lower frequencies (2 cpus at 800mhz are faster than 1 at 1000mhz, while use less power when only 1 cpu is needed for minor executions like page turns).
5- Greater battery life by using an ebook specific operating system, instead of Android.
6- better battery life when chips and ram continue to have a smaller die size (down to 14nm today),
Could lenthen battery life to almost 6 months using an hour or two of reading a day.
