$1500 + a $500 driver board (https://shopkits.eink.com/product/v5-system-board/ https://shopkits.eink.com/product/v5-system-board/) And a frame, etc.

  Yeah, and frustratingly or fortunately (depending on how you look at it) that board has a full Linux/WiFi/Bluetooth stack on it so you don't need/can't use a ESP32/Whatever. Competition in the space would be great.

  It looks like someone else linked this Ali Express item @ $1500 elsewhere in the thread: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/largest-32-inch-e-ink-big_60798201923.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.6437766dW0KPeZ&s=p https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/largest-32-inch-e-ink... Does this one require a driver board as well?

Why is this company so obsessed with disallowing “consumer” purchases of their products? What’s the purpose or benefit?

Oddly, I got this flash message after adding a screen to my cart: 31.2˝ monochrome ePaper Display [VA3200-QAA]【Display Module Only】 PLEASE NOTE: (I) THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT CONSUMER PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES; AND (II) PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE PRODUCTS FOR COMMERCIAL USE AND/OR IN A BUSINESS CAPACITY. ORDERS PLACED BY CONSUMERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED Seems a bit harsh, and it wouldn’t be for regulatory reasons, would it?
