Anyway, of eInk's many shortcomings, I remain unconvinced that the slow refresh rate applies for reading (if you happen to have a very (very!) loose definition of reading, please substitute in "perusing") books.
If you don't actually read books but instead skim, browse, or reference passages in them, then yeah, perhaps eInk isn't for you. |
It's not a simple matter of replacement. Linear reading is done along with nonlinear reading.
E-ink is suitable for slow, linear consumption. That's about it. Thankfully, the hardware bottleneck on the part of e-ink will be remedied within the next year or three, and the primary problems will then shift to interfacing and software/hardware design (if the latter aren't figured out by then).
