This is what I was looking for. Except, none of them support big screens (size of a kindle or A4 paper). Also, E-Ink doesnt seem to sell those big screen to hobbyist...

This is only slightly related, but does anyone know of an e-ink device that can run a desktop operating system (like Ubuntu)?

Check out http://repaper.org/ and Pervasive Displays products. No connection with me whatsoever.

This is great. Only issue is that it supports a maximum of 2,7" display...
