At first thought, an e-ink smartphone sounds like a terrible idea. Ugh, all that lag. But think about the light weight, low cost, and insane battery life, and you can see why eInk, the company behind the screen in Kobos and Kindles, is pushing its new prototype phone hard. Read More >>

E-ink technology is easier on the eyes for reading, even if the devices it's currently deployed in feel nothing like a book or magazine.
