You can get a 5" 640x480 E-Ink panel for about $15-20 shipped from china.

Kindle DX has a 9.7" at 1200x824. Still too small for me...

There is the crazy expensive Sony Digital Paper DPT-S1 which has a 13.3" screen with 1200x1600 resolution. That resolution really would be good enough for me if I could get tmux on there and connect a physical keyboard.

Please somebody make a hacker friendly terminal laptop with such a screen and a great keyboard. It doesn't have to be ARM, any arch that can run free software is fine with me.

Thanks! I think I saw they were showing the screen at CES but I didn't know they were selling this thing!

Good luck trying to buy this Sony Digital Paper DPT-S1 if you're not in the US though.

I'm in Europe and contacted Sony. They knew nothing about it since it is a Sony Professional product. I contacted Sony Professional Europe but they knew nothing about it since it is a Sony Professional US product. And they refuse to ship to Europe... Sigh, here is a product I want to spend $1000 on and Sony wont take my money!
