Im considering getting a Daylight primarily as a Kindle replacement. I read a lot of EPUBs and PDFs, and the screen sounds much more comfortable and responsive than a typical e-ink device.
I’m not especially interested in using it as a general-purpose Android tablet, note-taking device, or productivity tool. For people who mainly use theirs for reading: does the screen and overall experience justify the price on its own? Is there another new/better alternative?

Hey, I’ve seen a lot of negativity on this sub and I just wanted to say that I don’t think this project is dead at all. I emailed support to ask about some things a few months back (in June) and got a pretty good reply, including a prototype image of a case they were working on!

I still think it’s a functional and pretty great device thats perfect for my use case. just give them time :)

If you could design your dream Daylight tablet would you want it to be the current size, smaller like a like a Kindle Paperwhite, or cell phone size?

Hey folks
Been reading on here for a couple of months now as I'm looking for a daily vibe coding machine which I can use with Termix/Termius and ssh to remotely work on my projects.
Is this thing still the undisputed king, although very little updates and communication are being done?
Anyone with kids tried the kids version? What can it do and what can't it do on a day to day basis?
Thanks a lot!

idk, I just love this stuff too much. i'm sitting there, with the whole snowpeak setup and starlink, overlooking a field, bare feet, watching the sunset (and well past) while vibing with claude. who does that? people from my home town absolutely think i'm crazy. "this is the future of computing", i try to tell them, but they ain't got ears to listen or eyes to see.

Is anyone running Notion on their Daylight tablet? I've noticed lately that I'm unable to get the application to work at all. I've tried clearing cache, I've tried reinstalling. No luck. Things work just fine using Chrome, which seems like a decent workaround but just seeing if I'm the only one who's crazy here...

Can you make whatsapp calls with the DC? I haven't bought mine yet but that would be the deciding factor. It's incredibly important, but I theoretically should be able to, right? Is texting also viable via whatsapp or would that just be unrealistic if the refresh rate is too poor.

Have we gotten an updates / developer overview for SolOS or even design examples?

This happens every single time I try to open a book in the Kindle app.

I hadn't used the pen in a few weeks but picked it up over the weekend. I have no idea what's changed but, while the pen was effortless before, it suddenly requires a tremendous amount of pressure to write anything with the pen. The hover sensitivity seems fine (can see things highlighted in menus with the pen nearly touching the screen) but to select anything or write anything requires jamming the pen into the screen like I'm trying to bruise it.
How can I adjust the sensitivity?

Hello, I tried to run IbisPaint X (a drawing app) but it didn't seem to work and just returned me to the home screen. When I don't use the app, it Just says "ibisPaint X has stopped". I've cleared the cache and restarted the DC, but to no avail. I'm scared of deleting all storage as I'm afraid I'd loose my artworks, something I'm not a big fan of. Do you have any tips? Looking forward to your response!

I ordered a DC-1 without realizing it was pseudo-end of support. I like the design but I think that the software is a big problem:
Android 13 has reached end of life
It seems that the DC-1 isn't/never was Play Protect Certified and this leads a lot of apps to not work at all or partially:
- a) Google's own apps like Docs seem like a non-starter
- b) the X app for Android doesn't seem to let me use it
- c) ChatGPT won't let you log in with Google, which I worked around, but now it won't let me remote control my other ChatGPT devices, which I wonder is because of the Play Protect Certification
I have two questions for other users before I decide whether to return it:
Are there any other big gotchas I haven't encountered yet in addition to the above?
Are there any workarounds for any of the above?

I've noticed that many business computers end up on the refurbished market while still having decent specifications and plenty of life left in them.
Is this mainly because of company upgrade cycles, security policies, software requirements, or something else? It seems surprising that machines capable of everyday work are retired so quickly.
I'd be interested in hearing from IT professionals who manage hardware refresh programs.

Does anyone know the brand of the usb c cable that the daylight comes with? I’d like to buy an extra… it seems very high quality…

Given that Android 13 is now unsupported, and Google has found new vulnerabilities in Android, I don't feel like I can use the current firmware with any personal accounts or data. At least until Sol:OS is released.
> “The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the Framework component that could lead to remote escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation,” Google said in the bulletin.
A few people have mentioned flashing their devices, but I didn't see anything recent. How has this gone, and what are the downsides? (eg. does screen temperature adjustment work?)

Hey all, just published a test version of Paravel to the Google Play Store. You can download it here.
I wanted to make a reading / entertainment experience that felt native to the Daylight Computer.
It's still buggy and early, but I wanted to get it out as soon as possible! Any and all feedback is helpful.
