The quiet rise of E Ink Tablets and Infinite Paper Note Takers - reMarkable 2 vs Onyx Boox Note Air6/14/2021
For mostly static content like books or magazines, E Ink is an amazing paper-like technology. We seem to be putting a huge amount of technology and work into creating displays to replace paper. First the look, and most recently the feel of writing on paper. These one page digital devices promise to act as Infinite Paper. E Ink is easier on the eyes than OLED and iPads and the like. How does it work? The simple explanation is that there’s tiny capsules of negatively charged black pigment and positively charged white pigment. We can apply negative or positive charge and the black or the white pigments will jump to the top. It’s kind of like an Etch a Sketch, except with electricity rather than a surface covered in aluminum powder. These displays are as close to paper as you can get, today, digitally. This week I did a LIVE Review of three really interesting “E Ink” tablets on my YouTube.
Later this month I’ll take a look at Supernote which already has a enthusiastic community and promises to have a rich API for 3rd parties to explore and expand. E Ink and “E Paper” are becoming more prominent on sites like Kickstarter and IndieGogo. This India-based company called paperd.ink is creating a low power E-paper development board. The rise of inexpensive E-paper/E Ink displays along with ESP32s with WiFi is creating tiny low power computers that blur the user’s perception of what a Microcontroller can do. What are your thoughts and opinions about E Ink? Will your next tablet be an E Ink display? I often use Amazon Affiliate links and you’re helping this blog when you use them, thanks!
