Living the e-ink dream. I keep waiting for some sort of ARM powered e-ink laptop to materialize out of the ether, but it hasn't happened yet.

I have a Boox Note Air that runs Android. I imagine the processor is ARM-based. I can hook up a BT keyboard + mouse and use it like I would a regular tablet.
Plus, it has 3 screen refresh settings (low, med, high), and the middle one makes typing a very nice experience

I'll have to check that out. Especially if it can be tinkered with via a custom rom like lineage.
Yeah, same, so I 'wing it' by having a Linux machine in my bag and ssh.
Check out the pinenote project. It is intended to be more than just a hackable eink reader slab.
