Hi all,

As I am beginning to have serious eye fatigue problems, I am thinking of
buying an e-ink device, not to read books but to read documents. My idea
is that it be an Android device and that it supports the installation of
apk, to be able to install Termux/Emacs/Org-Mode and Nextcloud to sync
with my desktop PC or my laptop. I'd like to explore a workflow where I
could read PDFs on the device (and probably also text-only web pages
with eww) and also take Org Mode notes.

I wonder if anyone has tried something similar, if there is anything
written about it somewhere or if it is completely uncharted territory.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Probably an offtopic for your offtopic, but:


I use my phone to read e-books:

- AMOLED screen (black color doesn't emit light).

- low level of brightness (so I can read in the night without "losing" 
melatonin). Usually e-book reading app gives you this option.

- the PDF reading app must have reflowing of the text, so you can choose 
the size and font you like.

- no blue colors (ie yellow "face" with a black background). Not sure 
about its effect, but everywhere I read about blue filters. 8-)



Orgzly I use to capture ideas; and other tasks related with 
auto-organization (GTD). Of course, the .org files are sync with my 
computer.

For reading org-mode documents on mobile, I haven't found the perfect app.

Hi Juan Manuel

My workflow is to create an HTML from the org file(s) and then generate an
EPUB2 file forthe reader (in my case Kobo or Cervantes Light) I have always
felt the rendition is much more confortable than PDF. Other readers may be
better suited for PDF.

Just my experience,
/Pedro A. Aranda

There are people already using Emacs on e-ink displays, and from first
look its quite useful.

See https://twitter.com/ianthehenry/status/1481376985129500679?lang=en

Unsure on use for extended duration, I'll have to try out myself once
one is actually available in my country, but I'm liking the idea.
