In January, I spent all day every day for a week with a reMarkable. The plan: sit on the beach; read; write; think. Being able to use my whole library outside in the sand—with digital ink!—was so freeing.
Alas it has many flaws, so I returned it…but the price just dropped 45%!

I wished I could use the remarkable just as an external screen for iPad and Mac:
AirDrop pdfs, annotate on remarkable, but the structuring happens elsewhere.

Ah, for that, the Paperlike seems promising. I haven't used it—don't want to bring my laptop to the beach—but it's an external HDMI display / digitizer. dasungtech.com

wow the display refresh rate is impressive. I’ll wait if remarkable improves their OS.
wow, thanks! just checked out Dasungtech, read some reviews on reddit, really fits my usecase(can connect Windows,Android to it, highlight stuff too ). have a Kindle, but get disrupted by the slow speed, was contemplating getting b/w iPad/reM by year end. now, reM def. not
Dasung looks really interesting, impressive refresh rate. Too bad it's so expensive. It would be so much better if you could load the current screen/document on it and walk away with it.

Do these monitors overheat in the sun?
It would be so great to code in the garden with an e-ink "Outdoor PC" you could transport easily (Mac Mini on a rolling cart?) with its filesystem mirrored on a traditional setup inside.
