I just watched the video in the article, and the slow refresh rate also makes the touch controls frustratingly unresponsive. I love the concept, and might be interested in the next generation of this device, but the poor responsiveness is a deal breaker.
Yeah but it’s a hardware keyboard, not a screen-keyboard. I am not saying that means it won’t work - I definitely don’t know - but it’s conspicuous they focused on it briefly. SHRUG lol I’m sure there will be a hack for it if it doesn’t already behave how people want.
The Supernote is running a version of Android that let’s you sideload stuff, but I haven’t messed with it too much. There are also boox devices that are Android based and the inkpalm from Xiaomi.
For the most part though, I think the android versions they use are generally very old.
There is mobiscribe wave in both bw and color. The company is shutting down, so they’re selling off their inventory for cheap. I bought a pen support bw notebook for $100 and a color pen supported notebook for $170.

And you have to hold down the shift or Fn while hitting the desired key. Like a freaking desktop keyboard. No sticky. Wtf is up with that?
Yep, for numbers, too. Like, I need two thumbs and bifocals to dial a phone number.
Yup. Definitely an awful design choice.
Pretty sure you can enable sticky keys on any keyboard in the settings. It’s Android 14 and sticky keys is in the settings.

The setting works on Bluetooth or plug in keyboards where you use a dongle.
Edit yeah I think the dude that made the video doesn’t know that setting exists
Is that just the best an e-ink device can do? I didn’t even know you could get e-ink touchscreens at all!
Pretty much all kindles have touch screens these days.
And the current generation of Supernote, Remarkable, etc e-ink tablets have reasonable response times.
That’s cool, are any of them full Android devices that you can tinker with?
Boox has a few. I like mine.

Apparently not for Europe
You weren’t kidding. The bw one went from 129 usd to 270 euro even before shipping costs were added.
Simply switching countries from USA to Netherlands.
