Glad I could be of some help Scott,

Too bad there is no input on the Kindle, (or the Nook reader) as that would have been the ideal lower cost E Ink display.

The Sol-Vision 10" was a nice find by you, although a bit steep at $449. Most E Ink displays are in black and white, which should suit your purpose, and the dual layer with LCD and/or E Ink display is a nice setup for sure. Nice to be able to have the choice between LCD and E Ink

The videos you posted appear to show a very readable screen in sunlight, probably a good investment for those that live in Sunny California.
