The problem is that e-ink displays need to be refreshed quite often or they suffer from "burn-in". If you leave for weeks without a refresh then it's doing to develop really dirty whites.

Do you have a source for this? I have three e-ink ebook readers, all of which go to some standard display when turned off, and I sometimes leave them off for weeks. I've never seen any "burn-in" on any of them.

If anyone has any suggestions for e-ink readers that are not vendor locked, I'd be interested in seeing them.

You might like the Kobo ebook readers. I have two, and I only had to connect each one to the internet *once* to activate it, and have never connected them since. I side-load my epubs using Calibre (free software). Calibre can also convert between ebook formats, and there are plugins that can make DRM not be a problem. One of my devices has a micro-SD slot, and the other has 32 GB built-in. If I'm using them regularly, I have to charge every month or two. If they're off, maybe every 6 months.

I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around.
