- Get lost in a book, or lost in an algorithm. Pick one. #defeatthedoomscrollI went to visit @solreader HQ in SF to see how @bchelf and team are making a new kind of hands-free e-reader This is a great brain hack: read more and think more deeply about what you're reading with zero distractions youtube.com/watch?v=_YNC7Mβ¦
- Sol Reader To-Do List: 1οΈβ£Manga in V2 - on it! Awesome idea. (help us out with higher res displays, @EInk!) 2οΈβ£Reduce cost - with the proliferation of pancakes in VR, the $ should come down (thatβs the biggest driver in the BOM) Awesome meeting you @SadlyItsBradley!Palmer Luckey introduced me to something that I meme'd about for centuries and never thought could become real... a head mounted display that uses e-Ink displays π΅ youtu.be/wqqGjb0wZ-Y
- Remember The Jetsons? Rosie the Robot Maid, flying cars, coffee robots, 3D printed food, etc. Whatβs the common thread? Devices built to do fewer things each, but each thing perfectly. This has been our design philosophy at Sol from day 1. Make reading as magical as possible.I wonder if Humane would be better if it literally was known to do just one magical thing very well, like a realtime babelfish with no delay perfect translation And then adding features as needed. Remember iPhone had no apps on day zero.

We'll give you $350 and a free Sol Reader if you can read the entirety of Ready Player One in a Quest. ...headache specialist + optometrist bills are on you, though.This Company Is Making E-Reader Goggles So You Can Read Without Even Holding a Kindle dlvr.it/SgcLSX

- Our attention spans are declining (we see you @GloriaMark_PhD), but what if new technology could help us regain our focus through reading? Here's what we're thinking:
- Glad you're enjoying it! πFinally tried @solreader. So cool. And excellent taste in pre-loaded stories. Iβm surprised how few have mentioned Asimov during this AI hype wave since he helped invent the concepts everyone is talking about.
