25 · E-Ink

A paperback for a Kindle. No accent colour, by rule.

Warm grey-white paper, deep warm-black ink (not pure black, which e-paper can't render), an Aa font button, Wi-Fi-off + slowly-draining battery icons, “Loc. 142 of 412”, a refresh-flash overlay on every chapter jump. Static. No transitions allowed.

Reading a book on a device that updates by re-drawing the page.
