I actually repurposed an old Kindle to do just that, via kindle-dash[0]
Every 15 minutes it makes a cURL to an endpoint that gets my agenda, some news headlines, the weather, etc., and uses Puppeteer (I think) to return an image for the kindle to display.

- 650REDHAIR 4y agoThis is a neat project! Thanks for the inspiration!
- godelski 4y agoThis is exactly what I need! Do you know if it works on a paperwhite? If not, no worries, I know I can find old kindles.
- PascalW 4y agoI've personally only tested it with a Kindle 4 NT. I haven't had any reports of people using this on other Kindle devices, but in theory it should work as long as the device is jailbroken.
- yownie 4y agoI had no idea this existed but was off writing something similar as well. Glad to see a public project repurposing old hardware. I think there's a large potential userbase if PW support eventually get's added.
