Doesn't mean, I wouldn't use it for its advertised purposes too. But I really would like an eInk display as an add-on to my computer - unfortunately, the Kindle is not so open.

Would also be great as an extra screen for e.g. man pages while you are working on your main screen.


There is also a smaller, cheaper, and less slick device at Crowd Supply made from recycled Kindles.

15cm, 800x600, 8M RAM, 4M flash, wifi/btle, usb/sdio/i2c, 3 capacitive-touch buttons, battery charger, microSD slot, GPIO pins, and is programmable in microPython. Three-bit greyscale pixels.

(I don't have one.)


I don't know if the remarkable does this, but the onyx boox max 2 has an hdmi input (on some tiny connector.) I've used it from my laptop as a second screen, and displayed emacs and xterm on it. Really need to craft up some kind of bracket to use it as an outdoor primary laptop screen...
