This doesn't seem to be an e-ink display though. Am I wrong? I hope they aren't planning on getting rid of e-ink I much prefer it to any screen.

Yes it is e-ink, higher res and whiter background then previous versions.

A Pixel Qi display may fit your needs. There's a 10" DIY display available http://www.makershed.com/Pixel_Qi_display_p/mkpq01.htm although you may just want to pressure your favorite consumer electronics company to include one by default.

By the way, the earliest version of the Pixel Qi technology was used by the first OLPC XO laptop model.

Edit: Pixel Qis are not actually E Ink.

Yes! Same here. I feel like I'm part of a niche group that wants an e-ink device that at least reads web content rather than having to download or email myself articles. Are there particular technological limits aside from the cheap processor/e-ink controllers that are preventing an e-ink device from having a really usable web browser?
