This panel looks nice too for something a little smaller and much cheaper.

They have a slightly smaller red/black/white panel for about half the price of the 13" one too. https://www.waveshare.com/12.48inch-e-Paper-Module-B.htm

That one is interesting but not great resolution and no greyscale. Also the ones that have 3 colors are usually extremely slow to refresh in my experience.

But at a similar price point there is also a 10 inch one with decent resolution and greyscale.

I have this one running in a picture frame
