Help me write LaTeX on a large e-ink display ($200 reward)

Edit: my employer was eventuslly able to order me an e-ink monitor, so the reward is off 🙂

I would like to write LaTeX on a wireless-enabled e-ink display with a 13″ or larger screen to avoid visual fatigue. If you solve this problem for me, I will pay you a $200 reward, be extremely grateful, and write a blog post explaining your solution so that others might benefit 🙂 Some examples that I would consider solutions:

  1. If there were some way to use Sony’s Digital Paper device as an external monitor for my MacBook Pro or Windows 7 laptop, and you walked me through the setup, that would count.
  2. If you managed to get your hands on a working Dasung e-ink monitor and it is able to display its full resolution (1,600 x 1,200) as an external monitor to my MacBook Pro or my Windows 7 laptop, I would buy it from you at a $200 markup.
  3. If you figured out how I can run TeXShop or an equivalent two-pane LaTeX editor on Sony Digital Paper or some other 13″ or larger e-ink device, at a reasonable speed that can keep up with my usual editing rate, that would also count.

Thanks in advance to anyone who figures this out! You can email me at critch@acritch.com if you do. Please, no “maybe this will work” solutions… I get a lot of email already, and the idea is for someone else to make this happen instead of me. You’ll be doing me a solid, not to mention anyone else who benefits from your ingenuity 🙂
