About this app
Android device + bluetooth keyboard + e-reader = type outside in sunlight!
Use your Kindle Scribe or e-reader as a portable typewriter!
Traditional screens are fantastic everywhere but outside, especially on a sunny day. E-ink screens work well, but e-readers are difficult to type on and don't support external keyboards.
SolarWriter gives you the best of both worlds.
SolarWriter running on your Android device acts as a hub between your keyboard and your e-reader. You type on the keyboard, and the text appears on both on the Android device and on the e-reader's screen (via its web browser).
Take advantage of your Kindle's (or other e-reader's) e-ink screen to put your thoughts on paper even outside, with no need to transcribe later.
Write at parks, on beaches, in backyards... anywhere you wanted to but couldn't.
Save files on your device, or share through email, SMS, and more.
Detailed instructions for setup are included inside the app.

I just bought the solar writer premium today and I think it's a pretty good piece of software! However one of its premium features is not working - the OLED blackout. This is meant to save battery on your phone because the app needs to be on and open for your e-reader to be connected. The issue is, you have to click into the solar writer text box in order to start typing, but if you want to blackout your screen you have to press the button "OLED blackout" which unfocuses the text box

The bug ken luu talked about just got fixed, the app refreshes fairly fast again. Thought i'd rate it as an update - ive been looking for a way to use the kindle for writing for so long and this has been effortless and easy
