What’s your thoughts on ever using color eInk for coding/development?

- easier on the eyes - hammock driven development

What do you think the refresh rates would need to be to do that?

Probably at least 1 Hz to even be slightly usable as a screen you are composing or editing on, but current refresh times are multiple seconds so there's still likely a long way to go...

Current refresh rates for sections of the screen are 20ms. Full-screen refresh is a full second, sure, but you don't need that if you're just typing.

Huh. I wasn't aware that they had such fast partial refresh for color ones - I thought that was only for the B&W kind. Things improve quickly I guess!

Comic books will start to make sense on eink
