If anyone is brave enough ....
I hesitate to ask this, but it's a question that I've had for a couple of years now: will a magnet cause the e-ink to switch states (black to white or reverse)?
Logically, it ought to work, as a magnetic field is an electrical field too. One end ought to "write" and the other "erase." If it does, then the next logical question is can the backplane be adjusted to read the marks and capture them -- without the use of a touch screen. 'Course, we won't be able to answer that one here.
I've never seen any suggestion that e-ink is damagable by magnetic fields, and I hope they would tell us if it were, so it ought to be safe enough ... but I'd use a weak magnet.
If anyone is brave enough to try it, please let me know what happens.
