The E-ink screen is black & white (grey levels), but what we lose with monochrome is compensated by an extraordinary contrast in sunlight. Additionally, our screen consumes minimal power, allowing the battery to last for 50 hours.

The device can be plugged via waterproof USB-C to an external power supply, and the internal battery can be replaced at our facility in Chicago.
