    Just started searching for some way to turn my AAO into a real e-paper version. in some lighting conditions LCD screen is uncomfortable - e-paper reads easier.

    My idea was to install an extra e-paper screen on the other side of the lcd screen and connecting it to SVGA out so it could work as another screen or an extension of desktop. This way i could work on it with a screen closed and type using small usb keyboard - black and white 16 shades of gray would not be a problem. And of course with touch screen installed on top, mod like that would make AAO... something else ;)

    Started searching for a suitable e-paper display to take apart. There are practically no options, so i even considered somehow using iRex or Iliad screen.

    Finaly i found this mod: its inspiring and i'm still looking for more info about the design.
