What Hacker News says?
This is great! I love seeing e-ink/Kindle related displays. I thought I saw a HN article about it 'awhile ago', turns out, time flies, that was back in 2024! This is the link: https://lilymara.xyz/posts/2024/01/transit-kindle/ from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41923753 The author went from rendering a pixel-perfect image on Kindle to building a separate HTTP server to do it in rust!
