Re: [PLUG] Linux friendly tablet?

[Jack Hill <jackhill@jackhill.us>]

I have never seriously used a tablet or a phone (the most Iâve done is
mess around with a friendâs device and decide that the on-screen
keyboard was inferior to my IBM Model-M.)

Iâm not sure if this is ready for your kidsâ use yet, but I think it is
worth pointing out that Android is not the only user space available.
There is also Plasma Active <http://plasma-active.org/>, which is much
more community driven and is likely to realize greater user freedom.

Do people with eInk displays actually read them in direct sun? I canât
read ink on paper books in direct sun (I was considering getting a
Pixel Qi screen before I realized that I wouldnât actually use that
feature).
