The concept is an 11/10. I just wish it was bigger. I use an old rooted Nook for reading right now and even that could be like half an inch bigger (so I can read comic books and manga :))

good luck. watch out for amazon, among others, of whom dont particularly appreciate the idea of potential competitors that may pose a threat to their market control. also, you should really make a way to either convert from pdf/epub or read pdf/epub, whether by partitioning pages into subsections or otherwise; many textual archives are primarily created/saved in such formats, so i feel it's important to consider for such a thing. also, when the technology comes around in the not so distant future, keep an eye out for higher resolution displays; this would make use of epubs and pdfs much easier on such a device (as opposed to being confined to the likes of a 400x300 resolution). anyways, cant wait to see where this goes! keep up the great work!

"Hello, first of all, thank you for your efforts! I haven’t made a PCB board yet, it’s built with discrete components. esp32-s3-wroom-1 n16r8. Now why does my e-book stop at the ‘flashing language chip’ screen, the circuit has been checked and there is no problem. The TF card has also copied the ‘babel.bin’ file. The file system of the TF card is FAT32."Thank you again!

I love this projects. What would be great is a library of interface boards that would allow it to use salvaged displays from faulty Kindle or Kobo readers that have very little value when faulty or simply old.

Oh, this is _beautiful._ Assuming the capabilities of such devices improve in the future (people here are mentioning links and similar navigation features; and possibly Epub or PDF support [though I'm not sure the micro used would be capable of such things] or some sort of basic markup language at least), this is how I want technology to present itself. Open hardware, open software, assembly instructions built-in; designed to be made, repaired, and used by real human beings, respecting them all the way... it's just a beautiful artifact, even separate from its utility.

To be fair, as far as I can tell, it seems that the biggest problems are with Amazon and their Kindle ecosystem. Pretty much every other ereader out there on the market allows you to put EPUB and other files on it directly without ever connecting it to the internet. This is an interesting project, though I'm a little wary of the fact that it seems that some of the parts have to be obtained from sources like AliExpress.

I can't tell how hard it would be, but I think it's possible to rewrite the device for a Waveshare screen - I'm waiting for an answer from the creator on that one. What other parts are from AliExpress?

It's a cool idea but how exactly would that help authors? Sure, at least you can keep daddy Bezos from seeing how many pages of fifty shades of grey you've read but where are you getting the books from? If you need to pirate books in order to use this and you want to actually support the author than honestly just buy physical books instead. Still a cool project though.
