Echoing this point, an electronics project book, a breadboard and some simple components are all you need to get really really far in combining electronics like this. You can get 90% of the way there with just Ohm's Law. For laying out circuits you can learn about capacitance and inductance, but again, you can literally learn by doing. As in all technical endeavors, debugging is the real skill.
The rest you learn along the way.
As for the eInk laptop, I have that eDream as well. The hack I wanted was to use an LCD panel across the top for live editing, undo, etc. And then once the line was done, the eink display would wake-up, take the new line of text and write it to the display and then go back to sleep.
A couple nice eink options for the discriminating hacker

- sitkack 4y agoI started with the Forrest Mims [1] Engineer's Mini-Notebooks from Radio Shack. They contain very little prose and lots of circuits you can build on a breadboard. https://hackaday.com/2017/01/18/forrest-mims-radio-shack-and-the-notebooks-that-launched-a-thousand-careers/ https://hackaday.com/2017/01/18/forrest-mims-radio-shack-and... My recommendation for a current book, that is affordable is "Practical Electronics for Inventors" by Paul Scherz
