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.

Looking for input on eink devices, for ebook and writing. Primary use is to digitize my library. Writing will be mathematical in nature.
Current favorite: supernote (https://supernote.com/)
Current runner-up: PocketBook InkPad X
I value:
* Openness, OSS compatibility
* Interoperability
* Repairable, upgradable
Tech proficiency: long-time OSS native, I have FreeBSD laptops and servers, run graphene, etc., can fetch, modify, build, install OSS.

Smartphones mit E-Ink-Display sind rar, und dafür gibt es gute Gründe. Eine gewisse Faszination entfaltet das minimalistische Mudita Kompakt dennoch.

Hey. If you've got a #Kobo #ebookreader, I will appreciate if you could extract some information from your device. Currently, I'm contributing to #postmarketOS wiki. Since #onyxboox refuses to release the kernel source code for its devices, I am trying to gather information about different ebook readers with #eink panel. So if someone wanted to mainline a #boox device, they could use drivers from Kobo since they release the kernel source code.
I would really hate my #booxleaf to become useless, because onyx does not give updates anymore nor it releases the kernel source code so the community can provide an alternative OS or ROM. By doing so, not only onyx contributes to #ewaste. But also forces users to change devices like every 2-3 years. Even when the device is working good. Like me device. Needless to mention #GPLViolation here.
I will post about me plans, later, God willing. For now, I am optimistic about mainlining me device and also #BooxPage. Because both use Snapdragon which has good support in mainline, it's an ebook reader so you don't need to add support for modem and GPU, and the Carta 1200 screen used in these two devices are also used in other e-book readers such as Kobo.
BTW, boosts appreciated! If you haven't got a wiki account, you can ping me and I can add the information :)
Edit: Thank you so much. There are 40 boosts so far. I wanted to say if you got other ebook readers with eink which they release the kernel source code, feel free to add them to the wiki, too.
A closer look at the prototype of an Onyx BOOX Palma phone/eReader with a 6 inch E Ink color display and 4G cellular support. Pricing, availability, and specs haven't been announced yet so this is mostly just a hands-on/preview. #OnyxBOOXPalma#EInk#IFA2025https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYVxVjUN3E4&pp=ygUPb255eCBib294IHBhbG1h
The Onyx BOOX Palma is a phone-sized eReader with an Android-based operating system and an E Ink display. A prototype for a next-gen model could actually be a phone, thanks to an E Ink color display and cellular support. https://www.theverge.com/news/772647/boox-palma-e-reader-e-ink-smartphone-4g-cellular#OnyxBOOXPalma#EInk#eReaders#Smartphones
