   Absolutely, love the idea! We figured it would be very costly if we did it ourselves because the number would be small.

   The answer is in our FAQ. There were secret perks (accessible through the link) to our early backers which were sold, that's why even the number of backers won't match on the public page.

   No idea. We're not using the Kindle displays so we aren't affected by any proprietary waveforms.

   Yep, saw this one. Although I'm not a big fan of touchscreen, the response rate is not as smooth because epaper. It does look pretty though!

   Update: Please check my next comment in the thread. It should be around 1-1.5 months for the 2000mAh battery.

   You're right, we made a mistake. I checked with my partner. Thanks for pointing out, it would be at least 1-1.5 months for 2000mAh. Talk about short selling yourself! E-papers have a slow refresh rate, it takes about 5 seconds to displ

    Sorry this is the best pricing we have right now. And no plans yet for the 6" version, depends on how we do on this one. E-paper is quite hard to source and is expensive.

    Unfortunately none of the major crowdfunding platforms support our country to collect funds. It's sad that you have a product but would not be able to launch it because of these issues. We somehow managed to go on IGG so that's th

    Thanks! That's correct, e-paper displays and the silicon chip prices are high right now (the last we checked before our campaign launch in April) plus the inflation and uncertainty around shipping. The answer to your question is diffic

    paperd.ink is a 4.2" e-paper display coupled with an ESP32 microcontroller. It's open-source, fully hackable and all the PCB and 3D printing files are available on our Github repo. It’s low power so you can run it for a month on

    >speaking in an inside voice as opposed to shouting at them Now that's a way to put it! We were also perplexed while doing research initially as to why aren't these displays used more widely. One of the issues was cost and limi

    You're right, price is a big issue. We want to be able to provide affordable and useful e-paper displays and are actively working towards the vision.

    Thanks. The code is the example code for our product. but it does not have any other example code. It uses open source libraries and icons. https://hackaday.io/project/168668-paperdink

    That was surely insightful. We'll test with a white LED. And we're working on the binaries and GUI, it seems like current hardware won't be able to serve web pages.
