More or less the same screen tech as some old Sony PalmOS PDAs like SJ20 from the 2000s: Transflective greyscale LCD.

Glad they are making a comeback. They were nice. I still use an SJ20 to read ebooks for this very reason. Plus, they can be had for $10 on eBay.

Thanks for your comment! I grew up using a Palm III that was already super old when I had it in high school. But years later, my fond memories of the sense of focus I had using it became a major inspiration for deciding to join Anjan’s team for this project :)


I'd be interested to hear more about the specific screen tech and the how it compares with the ~2000s.
