Not an Eink tablet

In the past month, I wanted to get an e-ink display, a calmer device for reading blog posts.

Android eink tablets, custom kindle firmware, Boox 5” 7” 11” 13” devices

Everything I tried or saw was either too slow, had ghosting issues, or lacked the features I wanted.

Last week, I tried an unusual experiment using my iPhone and iPad with a grayscale filter.

This defeated the original purpose of an e-ink display! There was no great battery life, and it didn't avoid blue light. However, it did make the device less vibrant and distracting, which made me realize that this was the only aspect I truly cared about.
