Yes, the stylus has a circumference that is larger than the thickness of the slate.

Likewise... or rather, for my wife, so she can actually use the PC for more than 10 minutes without her eyes suffering ( yellow glasses with multilayer filtering is helping thankfully, but yes, getting rid of the whole light-transmission aspect would be great )

E-ink monitor
the good news is you can!
the bad news is it's not as easy as buying a eink computer monitor (for now. I'm sure it will change very soon. being that so many people requested it on mobileread. where eink developers (probably) look to find out about their consumers). instructions for pc here for mac here Last edited by user743; 04-10-2014 at 02:56 PM. |

Why didn't the technology stick? I'm only discovering it now and the news about this stopped by 2012... What happened? I'm particularly interested in this device: http://91.121.72.108/pad/home/padpro.html which could be a good alternative to others that are on the market or even the one we are discussing in this topic, because it incorporates a stylus and reflective display. If it only had better specs and it were still in production. P.S.: sorry for the off-topic. Last edited by FantoM; 04-10-2014 at 08:14 PM. |

I don't mind getting my hands dirty, I design & manufacture electronics, but since it's for my wife I don't think she'd quite appreciate the typical cable & delicately balanced panels on her writing desk |

Consider the reaction to the price of the Sony device. Consumers want a variety of things from their devices, and the technology to make them exists, but that doesn't mean that the consumers would be happy with the prices. |

I can imagine that no sooner we actually get HDMI/DVI/VGA connected eInk screens we'll be squarking about the refresh rates soon after That said, as an auxillary screen for the purpose of reading or writing text I think it'll still find a lot of use.
Nice to see the DX's are now only $199, but the eInk is a generation behind and laggy compared to what the latest offerings are Anyone want to send me a SONY 13.3" to hack? |

Given the elevated price tag I'm a little surprised SONY hasn't considered providing an Android or Linux type alternative boot for developers ( a bit like the PlayStation originally ) to assist in bolstering the sales even further.
