Do nothing, but do it well
@joel Erratum: It appears to be a know behaviour; the developpers of Crosspoint firmware have specifically included an option for this. When I enable "Sunlight Fading Fix" in the settings, the problem seems to go away. However, this is the first time I've seen e-ink behave like this 
@joel I was wondering: does your unit also have the screen fading in bright sunlight, or could mine be faulty? (It doesn't stop me reading, but this is the first time I've noticed this happening with one of my e-ink reader)

Dear Europe: Germany has shown the way forward, by making the Open Document Format (ODF) mandatory within its sovereign digital infrastructure. Now it's time for other countries to do the same! https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/23/dear-europe/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware #openstandards

New blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made.  

> Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No debugging audio when you need to make a phone call and no fussing with a broken web browser when you just want to doomscroll cat photos. It also means developers can reproduce the exact state of a user's device, making it much easier to track down and fix issues.

That’s what we call being an influencer. Now all you have to do is negotiate a percentage of the sales :)

I've already fallen for that once: my rg35xxsp arrived yesterday...

Life moves fast: I didn't know about this little device a few hours ago, and now I've just ordered it because of you.
Thank you for this discovery!
I think all I have to do now is look into the alternative firmware to get it to sync with Koreader on my Kindle (Kindle for reading at night, and Xteink for reading on the go).

Not sure that "enjoyed" is the right word, but I'm glad I took the time to read this blog post today:
