There already are e-ink, single-function typewriters you can buy. Stupidly expensive and don't seem worth it at all tho

I actually looked that up after reading this article and as you say, so stupidly expensive.

I would love an E-ink laptop with a good keyboard to use for writing and Dungeon Master stuff.

It needs to be easy to read from, have a good keyboard and battery life, and play music. It needs an internet connection because all of my tools sync or are web-hosted. Also let it display normal color video out of HDMI or Type-C.

Basically my ZenBook 14 (love this thing) with an E-Ink screen.

Do you think there would be a market for a standalone writing device that attached to any keyboard, to emulate the function of those kinda typewriters?

I definitely think there is a market for these things in general. It's just a matter of price. I would love to own a dedicated typing device with an e-ink screen if it costs $60-$100 and works just like I want it to. I think a lot of people would want that.
