Maybe for you. But the first Kindle came out in 2007, and Amazon has sold tens of millions of them. The latest, the Kindle Scribe, even allows users to write in books with a pen.

I have an e-ink tablet (Boox Tab X), which is like a Kindle Scribe except it's also a (more or less) full featured Android tablet.

I have a very nice setup with Zotero, where I can sync papers I want to read to the tablet (running Zoo for Zotero), read and mark them up, and then sync the marked up version back to my computer.

I'm very interested in those Boox tablets. Is there a way to have them display a static image (a custom website or Android app) when they are in standby? Or do they force-switch to some screen saver mode, like many e-readers do?

Mine goes to sleep after 3/5/10 minutes (configurable). There's no option to disable the sleep.

You can set a custom screensaver image, so if what you're looking for is something truly static you might be able to do something with that.
