It also has a replaceable 800 mAh battery, I found it cool :)
Very similar to https://diptyx.dev/
But its been around longer. Software looks really good for an esp32. Im hoping we see more of these open source ebook readers pop up.
Ooh, I like the clamshell design. Most people seem to use a flip cover for their eReaders anyway, may as well put a screen in it. 3Ah of battery is also a huge upgrade compared to the OP’s 800mAh or the XTEink X4’s 650mAh.
Nice, glad you like the design. I do too.
I think in theory it would be easier to repair. But it is 250 which is quite a bit.
Ill know in a couple months!
