It’s because it’s not lit. It looks natural, and unobtrusive.

I’d love to have this, art, and other “appliances” and slabs with eink. Ex. My todo list. My email etc.

I think they capture the feel of the black-and-white LCD digital watch world from before color display android everything ubiquity.

Probably that's why you can't make money on it at scale that you can with any addictive type of device and so it's not attractive for most entrepreneurs - a lot of work to put in and not enough money to even buy a Cessna.

I’m trying to make it work as a product. I tend agree it’s a super niche market though.

You should take a picture with better lighting. Really makes your product look bad on first impression.

Target the high-end? There might be a demand for a device with an e-ink esthetic which takes care of, I don't know, planning the days of rich people? An actual need instead of a manufactured want? Or maybe the lower power consumption of an e-ink display can make it useful in other areas not yet identified instead of consumer products?
