    Had the same thought for the first time reading this post. It would be so damn cool! I am currently testing an e-ink device and it is much closer to what I would want. Will look into rooting it soon. But it is certainly not a daily driver, just fiddling around and enjoying a screen that becomes more viewable, the more sun you let shine on it. On the other hand the OLED screens deliver such a great dark black that they are more suitable for night readers.

      What are you playing with? I’m rocking a Viwoods myself and it’s pretty great, I wish I could get the backlight to be warmer light.

      I’m back and forth still on OLED, it’s so vibrant and beautiful it’s almost too powerful if that makes sense. That said, the new minimal phone and the light phone 3 seem to be embracing it with some success

        Currently a Boox. They have a temperature slider. I am actually testing different e-ink devices from different manufacturers. OLED is shit in the bright sunlight, compared to e-ink. It’s my favorite thing to do with e-ink: reading outside. Really has the kind of paper characteristics to it.
