Currently, there are no commercially available very large e-ink readers specifically designed for viewing schematics. However, some e-ink tablets with larger screen sizes, like the Sony Digital Paper series, may be suitable for viewing schematics. You may need to test various models to find one that meets your needs.
Gedeink is to remember in yiddish. eink as in eh like the canadians say.
If you either like to read while traveling, read a lot of books, or find that many of the books you are asked to carry for school can be found in eBook form, then the answer is a definite yes. If, however, you are a light reader, or find that you would rather wait for eInk screens to become faster or gain color, an eBook is not for you. People forget eBooks are for reading, and the other features included are really terrible compared to what a dedicated device can do. EBooks right now are an enthusiast technology, and are really not ready for general public consumption.
Mar. 18, 09. I looked it up and I checked a description. It opened at that date. Actually they've been around for a lot longer than that, and free I might add at Project Gutenburg. The Ereader itself with EInk was first developed in 2001 and hit the market in Japan in 2004 and was a Sony. Kindle didn't come out until around 2007. But E books have been around since about 1971 if not before, because that's just when Project Gutenburg was started.
According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 1 words with the pattern EINK---. That is, seven letter words with 1st letter E and 2nd letter I and 3rd letter N and 4th letter K. In alphabetical order, they are: einkorn
I think the electric book is slightly worse for your eye sight because of the brightness. It depends on what device you read the book on. If you are reading on an eReader with an eInk screen, then only natural light is used. If you are reading on a device that has a back-lit screen then that may eventually lead to eyestrain, like watching too much TV.
This is a question that has several different angles to look at. The first depends on your device. If you have an eInk screen, which reflect light instead of relying on light shining at you. The Nook Simple Touch is an example of this. These type of devices do not allow any videos and are typically not interactive. If, however, you have a tablet then eBooks can be very interactive. For instance, the iPad, which is the most advanced non-eInk eReader currently on the market, you can have video, interactive 3D models, and many other interesting features. The other angle that has to be looked at is what type of file the eBook is. If the eBook is a ".mobi" file, which is the Amazon file type, they are generally less interactive. If an eBook is a ".pdf" file, then there will be next to none interactivity, other than the ability to create notes and highlight. If an eBook is an ".epub", which is the universal eBook standard file type, and was created within the past year, then there are very few limitations to what these eBooks can offer.

A Kindle Fire can do far more; it has a full web browser, a color LCD display, thousands of apps and games, even more videos and TV shows, and more. The Kindle Touch is a touchscreen eReader with a very basic browser (bookmarks, cookies, and history) with an eInk display. Basically, the Kindle Fire can do a lot more, but the Kindle Touch is a way better eReader.
The Kindle is optimized for eBook reading whereas the iPad is a multifunctional device. The kindle uses eInk to produce the screen which is just black and white, but the iPad uses a LED IPS Display, so it shows vibrant colours and graphics. iPad will have a book store on it called the iBookstore which will have LOTS of books from different publishers, more publishers will be added as the months progress so in a couple of months time it will be like iTunes store (music) and the App Store (iPhone). Also the iPad is a Gaming device, so you can play great games that were on the iPhone as well as games specifically made for the iPad which is also cool! And as well as that, its also got apps that do word processing (the iWork Suite), this lets you basically do office work/school work on the go with pages (essays and stuff like that), Keynote (Powerpoints) and numbers (spreadsheets).
