Eink Mode is a new web browsing feature designed specifically for E Ink devices, transforming web pages into paginated, book-like formats to provide a more comfortable and energy-efficient reading experience.

Why it matters: Eink Mode reduces power consumption by 33% on E Ink devices and improves eye comfort by mimicking physical book reading.

The big picture: It offers rich gesture, stylus, and annotation support, turning web browsing into an immersive, paper-like reading and note-taking experience.

The other side: Some users find the mode restrictive due to disabled scrolling, hijacked scrollbars, and new gesture controls that differ from traditional browsing.

Commenters say: Many appreciate the novel paginated reading and PDF saving features, while others seek easier toggling and worry about ad integration and web compatibility.
