Got my secondhand Kobo Libra Colour this week. I set up custom fonts (Lexend, Fantastique, Alice), KOReader with Date Time Plugin, transparent backgrounds, and e.Mote page turner for iOS/watchOS which I'm alpha testing. Speaking of clocks, I picked up a secondhand Spartus 1099 for $12. I like the large display size. It's sitting on a mousepad I found on the ground in the city that looks like a carpet lol
Using greyscale mode on my phone for over a week now, I'm kind of wishing I had an e-ink phone.
And of course, that someone makes an e-ink phone that
- has an unlocked bootloader
- can run a FOSS android OS and not lose all the e-ink tweaks somehow
- has at least an ok camera
- is made by a company that respects the GPL
Sooo... not holding my breath, maybe? XD

Does anyone know if Dasung's eink monitors work out of the box on #OpenBSD ? (or, can be gotten working with some config tweaks?)
Experiences with other BSDs or other brands of eink monitor are also welcome. I've heard enough about these being tempermental at times on other operating systems that I'm a bit wary.
Great to see large scale Eink growing and becoming more available. Can't wait for the prices to drop ☺️
Still keep thinking about my #eink array idea, which would still be cheaper currently.
The biggest E Ink digital frame yet is a 40.5-inch cordless display with a one-year battery life

Looking for recommendations for good places to source ebooks in open-source friendly formats.
I am plenty competent enough with the OSS ecosystem to reformat anything, but I want to reward good vendors.
I just installed FtpClient from Fdroid on my Supernote tablet, which means I can fully write a blog post and post it without touching my laptop. And then check it on the EinkBro web browser. That's pretty sweet.
