Greetings,

Does anyone know of any company that offers an external (preferably, USB) monitor that utilizes some form of electronic paper technology, whether it be EInk or a display similar to the Jetbook? Failing that, does anyone know of any non-backlit usb monitors using standard technology? I was thinking something along the lines of the old Palm screens, which allowed one to turn the back light off, but bigger and USB compatible. While not as portable as a standalone reader, I could definitely find a use for it in conjunction with my netbook. I would be able to use desktop-based EBook software which offers much more in the way of features than the portable readers do. And, given a long enough usb cord, I could even curl up on the couch with it. At the very least, it could be useful in reducing eye-fatigue from a back light, possibly increasing work place productivity. Any ideas, or is this just too niche of a product to be viable?
