When does the E-INK patent end? I want a cheap $50 1420x1000,

The main one expired last October but the patent holding company still has lots of other ammunition they can use. And we need some other major company to set up a production line for China to copy. It'll probably be a couple more years.

That's literally never going to happen because AMOLED won.

Just use your phone unless it has IPS eye cancer in which case you should consider getting a new phone.

never going to be as good as e paper for reading off of, hell, I only use the lcd screen because its less of a hassle, but fuck me if anyone makes an e-paper monitor, i'm buying it day one as it would be so much nicer to read off of then a normal monitor.

This is coming from someone who bought a kindle paperwhite. I don't have a huge purse to store a giant e-ink reader, a camcorder, cd player, and fm radio. Also words look crystal clear and I don't get any eye fatigue my iPhone 6s used to cause me.

My S7 active does all these things perfectly and is slim despite being a rugged phone.

An affordable A4 sized e-reader would be absolutely invaluable for anyone who has to do research involving reading a lot of journal articles, it's painful to read them on the computer and current e-readers are too small so you end up with a ton of paper printed out

If you can pay $10000 a year for subscriptions to journals then you can pay $1000 for an ereader faggpt.

The people who do the research aren't the ones paying for the journal subscriptions and usually aren't rolling in cash
