Thanks,

... As people already know....Flash is a talking point with Tablet computers. Apple ipads can't deal with ANY kind of Flash. The new Amazon Tablet "Kindle FIRE" is a direct competitor to ipads and CAN deal with ALL Flash. (199 dollars). This is a big selling point for that tablet and amazon. ...

It might be good idea to create some kind of library of free Linux and programming (for beginners) books ripped to mobi format for kindle and pdf for similar devices.
And maybe some sort of downloadable offline reference site (similar to android docs)...

... don't share books by closing them to one "pair" of students to pass to another pair! And the cost or replacing books is why schools are seeing a Kindle type book reader as a cheaper alternative.

Nope no fire for me, I just want a simple kindle touch (I'm more about books and battery life than ultra colored magazines on a e-reader)

... horrified and disappointed that they hadn't learned Logic at age 11. I have a Dover edition, but today I see you can get it as a free-as-in-beer Kindle e-Book. So the need for RasPi is really not new -- the need just changes its form from century to century.</t>

<r>I posted this in the LVDS thread, but I'm posting it here as well for anyone who's interested in this project later. Also since the kindle did a huge price drop, it's cheaper to buy a kindle than make one myself <E>:(</E> Mainly due to this LVDS issue. Sad times. So I was talking ...

Amazon emailed me about their new cut-down kindle @ £89. Maybe when the pi\'s arrived I\'ll invest just to see what the display\'s capable of. Doubt I\'ll be the only one ...

E Ink displays are really great for text applications, but they kinda peter out in usefulness when it comes to graphics and, as you alluded to, they\'re really expensive. Just about the cheapest way to get one is to buy a kindle off amazon and use their screen

I think it makes more sense to just go for a cheap, rootable/hackable Android tablet with USB and LAN/Wifi, dispensing with the Pi ?

Cheapest source of E-Ink displays is actually Tesco's. You do have to dismantle the Kindle they are in to get them though.
