I’m in the market for a repairable FOSS e-ink tablet, as my pocketbook’s touchscreen has died, and it’s a glued together piece of trash. The manufacturer charges 2/3 of the price of a new one for the repair.

Got products or manufacturers?

    If you have a 3d printer to make a case, seed studio released a 7" color e-ink terminal with a built in esp32. Even friendlier is the Pimoroni Inky frame with a built in raspberry pi.

    Both around $100 USD.

      If I see it correctly, they both don’t have any touch or stylus capabilities or did i miss something?

      The seedstudio is absolutely shit for frequent updates of the content,though, as it refreshes the whole screen everytime and is slow as hell. Send mine back after a lengthy exchange with the support.
