Less niche though I guess.
Yeah. A backlight Kindle is like. $60
It's insane.

With how so many brands make their advertising weird and how many variations of tablets to right on there are I'm never 100% on what I'm looking at, haha. That Wacom Bamboo Folio, is that e-ink with an "Export to phone" button basically?
What's even more insane is Amazon didn't lock it down making piracy impossible on the thing either. Just the ebooks they sell
its like trying to find RGB pilot/panelmount indicator lights these days
impossible to do unless you want to pay 60 per piece
other option is buy cheap white-hat ones and mod them with rgb led your own
@timsandtoms there's this cheaper one
https://onyxboox.com/boox_novapro
niche product but some people would use em if they had em
which will not be as smooth or lagless as the remarkable or the sony
Haha, yeah, jesus, I'm just getting a cheap one or a Boogie Board or something.
I mean lets be real, when a normal ereader costs $150 for a good one, one that comes with WACOM isn't gonna be cheap lmao
Well, only because it's too niche I think.
yeah
its very niche
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
Amazon subsidizes becusee for every me who pirates everything. There's three people buying books
