Hey,
SOMEDAY I would like to use an e-ink e-reader as a monitor for writing, programming, browsing and similar. I am setting up this thread to keep up with the latest technologies/e-readers that accommodate this capability. Hopefully it will prove useful to some of you and you will help me to update it!
For convenience reasons I will consider only e-readers with bigger screens (>=9.7).
So:
1. Dasung Paperlike - most commonly known, designed to be used as a second monitor (no e-reader capabilities). Personally I find the refresh rate lacking for programming and more complex tasks. Lately it was reported that Dasung sold out all Paperlikes.
2. 2017 Dasung e-reader - Forthcoming e-reader from Dasung that will have a "Mysterious function". Most people expect that it will have some kind of display port. Dasung reports that it has 2-3 months of software testing ahead before next phase (release?). I am looking forward to more news from them.
3. Onyx Boox Max Dual Touch - Booxtor reported that the new version of Onyx Max will have a capacitative screen and a HDMI port:

This is great news, Onyx is a company with many years of experience that released many successful e-readers. Their latest e-readers N96 family and Max are impressive, I hope that Dual Touch will keep it this way.
4. Jing Page X - a 9.7'' e-ereader with the fastest refresh rate I ever seen on the e-reader. it remains to be seen if it can be used as a e-ink monitor.
