I think the world of homebrow eInk devices is set to take off. The problem right now is that while the screens have come down in price considerably, the driver hardware remains expensive and proprietary. If you want to build something for cheap, you'll be designing the PCB from scratch (as this author did). Enter EPDIY, which brings wide support to a variety of screens using commodity hardware. It's still under development, but it's looking really promising: https://github.com/vroland/epdiy https://github.com/vroland/epdiy

following this project for a while. Though I dabble in computers for quite a while now, going the whole order-your-own-pcb-and-then-solder-some-more route is quite jump for me. I think there's more people like me. Would really hope some integrators can do this en masse and charge a normal fee for their trouble and provide me with a hackable EPDIY without the hassle.
