Theres other cheaper drawing tablet brand for computers, so that plus whatever tech it was they use in the cheap etch-a-sketch ones, I'm just surprised there hasn't been something more between the super fancy ones, and the doesnt-even-have-an-erase-lock cheapo ones.
But ah well. I didn't really need one, I'll just get the cheapo. Just nerding out about gadgets, lol
I guess in that domain its been taken over by cheap androids
@timsandtoms there is decently cheap eraselock one
Link? I actually just remembered my roommate bought a Boogie Board Blackboard and was going to return it, if he hasn't I might see if I can buy that from him.
10 incher has lock
@timsandtoms i now tell you secret what you probly know : theres also semi-transparent ones :P
kek
The one I mentioned my roommate having was like that. Tinted screen and you slide in doted or lined paper behind it
Related note, are there Chinese ebook readers, and if so, worth considering?
not cheap ones
yeah they're not cheap
onyx being main contender there ?
How not cheap?
"get used kindle" not cheap
Amazon subsidizes the cost.
Even a new kindle is super to Chinese eink
previously linked 300us Boox Nova Pro cheap
non-pro nova being 250 or so in aliex
and poke pro 200
all from boox
Thefuck do they do that justify an ebook readers being that much?
e-ink panels are patented to e-ink bullshit corporation
We had amazing ones for $200 a couple years back
whats main reason why there is no cheap panels
cause they literaly jew it out
Blame the eink company
^
What the fuck.
welcome to patent bullshit of e-inks
There's also not much demand for innovation or change in the commerical space.
In the pro space sure. Eink signs would be fucking sick.
