incredible, isn't it, that no single usable e-paper device is being sold. like no Mac with e-ink, no Surface with e-ink, no ASUS with e-ink, even though this is the best thing an operator can do to his tired eyes.

I'd wager that the whole modus operandi for desktop environments is not made with e-ink in mind. E-ink fits in a situation where only a few updates are ever required, and completely breaks down for anything requiring higher framerates.

The market might just not be big enough to warrant creating a product.

Whilst they're certainly not Apple, you can walk into most retailers, and out with one of Boox's offerings.

(Just be aware they're open GPL violators.)
