Gotta admit my doofus-ish state right now - I read that and thought, "What on EARTH is a bist-able screen? What's bisting???"

Yes, not quite 'bistable' in the sense of on-off or black-white, but non-backlit screens not using power to maintain a display, only to change it. I guess the definition of e-ink I was using probably does vary from the technical definition of a specific product.

dmaul - Why do you say that HD video can't work well without backlighting? What is it about video, in your logic, that requires the emission of light? (if that sounds snarky, it's not meant to. Seriously curious)
