Why people are obsessed with e-ink screens?


Every once in a while I see e-ink screen hardware popping up on hacker news. I'm sure there are other kinds of screens that can do a similar effect such as Pixel Qi. But I don't see them that often.

one of the best features is that is doesn't need energy for maintaining the screen. Only updates require power, so its perfect for low power applications.
