This is great, and I can't wait for it to commoditized, but I bet I'm way priced out.
In general, I find e-ink displays relatively expensive for modestly sized ones (say 6 inch +). What's some of the best deals/value for e-ink displays for some personal projects? Broken e-readers for parts?

- Rebelgecko 4y agoFor smaller displays than you're looking for (<4 inch), AliExpress has some pretty reasonable prices. Even for color displays. For larger ones, I think the best option is something like a recycled kindle. There was even a post on HN a few months ago from a company selling Kindle displays hooked up to breakout boards (may have even had on-onboard microcontroller, like an ESP-32?)
