Use your e-reader as a display for your computer

Leave a comment

Over at Pocketables (one of my fav tech sites) they posted a nice little article asking Why are ereaders still stand-alone only devices? It is a valid question and if the Pebble watch is any indication, there is a lot of pent up demand for ultra-long lived devices using e-ink displays.

If Pocketable’s premise was e-ink is good for a lot more than just reading books, and that the current ereaders should do more… then this along those lines, here are a couple solutions for using your e-reader as a screen to display what is on your computer!

It would be wonderful if Android has a ‘send to ereader’ feature, but at least from your PC or laptop you can display something on an ereader. This also reminds me of the wonderful SplashTop which Pocketables writes about fairly often and which I use for their XDisplay (use your iPad as a second display over wifi) functionality .
