  • I like the concept. I have a e-ink reader where I removed the hull because it’s annoying, but at some point I must have damaged the display a bit and now it has a little black spot. With this the added bulk also doubles the area available for text. Maybe not that useful for novels that you read through linearly, but for non-fiction it would be nice to see other chapters, glossaries, etc. on one display while keeping the other at the page you were reading. Mainly a problem of software and enough buttons to be able to comfortably use that.

    Though the low-res displays of this prototype look atrocious to me (pixelation and uneven blackness), maybe a later version will improve on that.





  • and even though this has been done (Glimpse) nobody jumps ship to this new, more maturely named alternative that is exactly the same. They stay on GIMP

    Well, the Glimpse project didn’t do the boring thing and just rebrand GIMP, they had more ideas and not enough people to work on them so they failed pretty quickly. If a simple rebrand would be used more than the original still remains to be proven, though it not existing might also be taken as indication that the demand for “GIMP with another name” isn’t there.
