Lab126 created some of the first e-ink technology, right? Is the Kindle, or e-ink screens, or e-ink patents, the worst thing ever... or is there something else I should know about in this space?

There's a lot to unpack in that sentence. Care to elaborate?

The echo.

I'm sorry.

In my defense, I said it was a horrible idea at the time, we'd have to stream everyone's audio to the cloud to get the keyword spotting to work...

Also, Lab126 did not create e-ink! E-ink came out of the Media Lab long before the first kindle.

I'm glad that they're finally making one with a stylus, when I was there (more then a decade ago) there was a prototype tablet you could write on that had a brilliant new sort of user interface.
