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?

    You’re correct. I have one and use it as a weather display but it’s not comparable to a tablet.

      I also have one, and the display refresh isn’t exactly quick. It’s probably very normal for colour e-ink displays, but it’s the first I’ve had / experienced. Though it’s fine for a home status display, it would be horrible as a custom e-reader.
