Also, a big selling point of e-ink is that it can be lit externally and match the color tone and brightness of your outside environment. If you’re blocking out the outside environment, what’s the point of e-ink?

Even while lit, e-ink appears different than a backlit screen. Being front lit, it does still mimic a book being lit by a light. Eye fatigue is a big talking point when considering backlit vs frontlit displays.

The difference between e-ink and digital screens is massive. I’m not sure how they’ll be able to make e-ink look good in these glasses though
