I would like a tablet with e-ink.

I’ll keep a watch out to see if this comes to Amazon.

Are there any other tablets with viewable screens in bright daylight? I just need wi-fi no 3G/4G.

Also, why aren’t cell phone made with viewable screens in bright daylight?

I read the line “that Hydis FFS display will be paired with an E Ink touch panel” and thought it sounded like they would be on the same device.
It’s a good thing if they keep the e-ink ereader separate from an lcd tablet concept.

I can only assume Amazon would be positioning the E Ink Kindle as a purist reading device, with long battery life and the e-paper experience, while the tablet (presumably Android-based) would have ereading as one function but also do things like proper web-browsing, show digital magazines, play video and the like.

Amazon made a big deal about the Kindle having massive battery life and being more like paper than an LCD screen. Can FFS compete with ink for reading on?

Like a reverse Nook, with a large lcd and a small e-ink touchscreen?
Two equally sized panels?
