Would you be happy with just an e-ink screen ?

The point I am getting is that in spite of advances in battery
technologies, most of the solar eBook readers are from articles written
around 10 years ago, nothing I could find in 2022, very odd.

Solar powered ebook reader is only suitable with e-ink display. E-ink
technology and market are greatly waned in this 10 years. LCD display
phones and tablets has advanced by more and more powerful chips, high
refreshing rate, and high resolution; But E-ink panels seems still as
they are 10 years ago.

Still think simple paper and ink are better than electronics, especially
for our eyes. :)
