E Ink’s Monopoly Over eReaders and eNotes Needs to End (Video)
E Ink is the sole supplier of all epaper displays used on Kindles, Remarkables, Kobos and many other brands, and that’s one of the main reasons why E Ink screens are so much more expensive than other types of displays. Someone on YouTube attempted to build an eNote for cheap, and he discovered that it […]
Don’t Get Rid of Your Black and White Kindles and Kobos
Kobo has a new white version of the Kobo Clara Colour coming out tomorrow, and Amazon is expected to release a new Kindle Scribe with a color E Ink screen soon, and possibly a 6″ color Kindle too, but what about new ereaders with black and white E Ink screens? This year has been a […]
Is Kobo Being Incentivized to Push Color E Ink?
Kobo’s current lineup of ereaders is seriously lacking when it comes to traditional black and white E Ink screens.

Solar Powered E Ink Displays are Now a Reality
E Ink and their partners recently demoed some new products at this year’s SID Display Week, including a new 32″ solar powered E Ink poster called the Solis 32 Display. It uses E Ink’s full-color Spectra 6 technology, which is part of their digital signage line so it isn’t directly related to ereaders, but it’s […]
Gallery 3 Screens Look Surprisingly Bad Compared to Carta Screens
Over on reddit, someone posted side-by-side pictures of the new Remarkable Paper Pro (left) next to the Boox Go 10.3 with a Carta 1200 screen (middle) and the SuperNote A5X2 with Carta 1300 (right), and it’s hard to believe how much worse the Remarkable’s color screen looks compared to regular black and white E Ink […]
