I really want to like this, but I never look at the keyboard. I wish this were a general purpose display.

A general purpose e-ink display?

I have one. They work fine as a second monitor (no Linux support yet though, Windows and Mac only).

Yes exactly that but affordable.

I agree that they're currently expensive. Better hope that enough people pay the early adopter cost then.

It's worth it for my eyes but that doesn't change my pay.

You can buy directly from E Ink holdings or PDI without the 50% profit margin from retailers. They come with dev kits too so you can make it into a monitor.

Our software guys would like to work on a E Ink dev screen for software developers who stare at a screen for most of the day.

Here's the link to the e-ink holding's dev kits and naked screens: http://shopkits.eink.com/product-category/all/
