“E-ink” is the most useful term here because it describes a digital data display technology which, like ink on paper, depends on reflected light. You can read an e-book even in direct sunlight. Traditional computer displays (CRT, LED, etc) depend on generated light and must be viewed in at least partial shade. E-ink also uses electric power only when the screen changes, meaning it offers both power conservation and legibility advantages.
i saw in this page a new words and i wuold to see, that,s my doubt.

Hello, I was just going through your list and realized you have “batty riders” as a new word. As a Jamaican, this is not a new word to me-infact I think it is more than 10 years old. This word is used constantly in dancehall music and is a rather vulgar patois expression. “Batty” means “ass”- “butt”, but more along the lines of “ass”. The same “Batty” is also used in the expression “Batty
boy” which is used to refer to homosexuals– it is not a polite term.
