Brad, I saw somebody using an E-ink reader yesterday.

So unusual about that?

It was the size of a phone.

Oh.

So it was like he held that the person was holding it like a phone reading a book.

And I walked up to them and asked them what it was because I'd never seen one before.

And we talked about it and it looked fabulous.

Is it just an e-read?

It's not actually a phone. So they make phones too, but the one he has is

just an e-reader. Wait, they do make phones with e-ink screens? They're for people who have distraction

problems. Are they as slow to refresh as, for example, a Kindle? It depends on how old. So they're

faster than the old Kindles are, I would say now. Like, if you have, if you have like an old first-gen paper white or something, probably faster than you're thinking ink, but they're still not, you're not going to watch a video on these. Okay. I guess the better question to ask is like people who use Kindles, like that's quite slow when you turn a page, you know, it's a good second as it kind of slowly refreshes screen. It's faster than that. But it's like, it's like hundreds of milliseconds.

It's not like 60 frames a second.

Yeah.

My question is, is that due to the slow processing of a Kendall or is that a feature?

Is that a limitation of an e-ink screen?

Oh, it's because the e-ink screens are mechanical.

So there's little balls inside them that float from the bottom to the top

of a liquid. There's locomotion in there. Yeah, things are moving. They're very small things.

Okay. Yeah. Well, with that established then, yeah, I guess you wouldn't be able to be distracted

much by an e-ink phone because it would take forever to do anything. Well, you say that, but like,

I'm just as easy to, like, I can distract myself just as effectively with a book as I can with, say, a, um, uh, you know, a video, probably more so.
