But the thing is making your own is much cheaper than buying these.

Writing is hard when there are distractions.
You have to respect the hustle.

The problem is that general purpose computers are so cheap and e-ink displays are so expensive that this is a really awful trade in most cases. You are better off using a plain text editor with no GUI running at all on the Linux virtual console (aside perhaps from fbterm/kmscon), or go really old school and use FreeDOS on an old PC with MS Word 5.5 or WordPerfect 5.1.

>I like the idea of having a digital typewriter, or a very limited word processor that just uses e-ink screens and has no other distractions.
good idea, e-ink screens refresh are too slow though, cant even keep up with typing. The old DOS laptops with amber screen panels were pretty good as pure text devices. The amber panels weren't LCD or LED, some kind of dot matrix tech, not sure. Must be a way to make a custom stripped down Linux do this.

just get a cheap ass laptop make it run Linux. You won't be able to game at all on it. Don't make it access the internet.
