The first thing I always do with these E-Ink projects is to check the price of the display, to see if it's come down at all since the last time I checked over the last 3+ years:

> Waveshare 12.48" Tri-color E-Ink Display - $179.99

NOPE

The price of displays has come down. Color e-ink is new tech, and as such is more expensive.

Problem is - three-pigment e-ink was a new tech 10 years ago and still of luxury niche.
