I like this. I would buy it.

I would also buy a related product that would fetch a particular web page every couple of minutes and display it on the screen. It's possible to hack up various devices to accomplish this, but the setup is a pain. Mega bonus points for no cloud crap, just connect to wifi and do everything locally.

One thing I'd love to see in both of these products is no refresh if the content hasn't changed. One annoying aspect of e-paper displays is that they have to flash white and black when refreshing. If there is no change to the content, this isn't necessary, and then doesn't present a distraction out of the corner of your eye.

That's already implemented actually :)
