Never underestimate a writer's ability to distract himself from his work.

This is the Kobowriter. As you can see, it’s a DIY e-ink typewriter, a USB keyboard connected to a custom Kobo Glo HD e-book reader to create a modern, single-sided typewriter. It’s simple, offers zero built-in distractions, and will always be waiting where you left off.

In short, it's the perfect commentary on everything that's wrong with your tablet or smartphone.

You can make your own Kobowriter. Just grab an old Kobo e-reader (or dust it off and charge it from the back of your closet) and head over to the Github project page. Right now, the software section only supports the French AZERTY format, but why let that stop you?
