This is awesome!
However as the discussion from earlier today shows (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22827833 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22827833), it is still very expensive.
The display used in this article costs about $1500 (https://shopkits.eink.com/product/31-2%CB%9D-monochrome-epaper-display-ed312tt2/ https://shopkits.eink.com/product/31-2%CB%9D-monochrome-epap...). Which is a bit too high for me to want to make something similar for myself.
