    afaik it’s very possible to make e-inks with 20+fps, but the microcontroller used to power the display isn’t powerful enough. I’ll link the yt vid if I can find it.

    found it: https://youtu.be/nHbA2-_qzH4

    it’s a 60 fps colour e-ink display

      Yeah trouble is those use a lot of power, from what I heard. I’m satisfied with a usable e-reader that can flip pages at tolerable speed.

        Well I would assume less powerful ones should take up less power. Also, don’t normal LED displays also require this, or sometimes more computation to calculate the pixels?
