I did that for my Rust/LLM-based e-ink AI newspaper: https://imgur.com/a/NoTr8XX https://imgur.com/a/NoTr8XX Custom frame by Halbe Rahmen, who I think make the most magnificent frames in the world, with the most loving team behind them. Not a shill; whenever I interact with the Halbe staff for anything I feel it.

Not a shill; whenever I interact with the Halbe staff for anything I feel it. Bold statement, what are they offering that's better than going into your typical framing store?

Thanks for the pointer! I'm from Germany too, and been considering a similar project (using an old tablet) for a while now. This is another company however that would have been better off if the founder wouldn't have used their own name for it. My first thought was "why buy half a frame from these guys when I can get a whole frame elsewhere?" Nice project BTW! However the coffee stain doesn't look very realistic in black-and-white...

  I definitely need a 3-color e-ink display black/white/brown ... :-)

I saw in the summary that you planned to open source it, do you still think you'll do it? I was thinking to build one for self (e-ink + battery powered so can move it around), and trying to avoid reinventing the wheel

This is an incredible project. I love every bit of it. Well done!

Wow I absolutely love that. The cost of the larger ones has been prohibitively expensive for all the stuff I want to do. I did make a small weather display with one of Waveshare's 6 inch screens, then I 3D printed a stand that gives it a nice frameless look.

Super cool! What kind of battery life do you get in practice?

  March/April to October or November or so in my first run :-)
