Looks great! You inspired me to want to do something similar, perhaps in a photo frame on my desk with a to-do list.

I was shocked at the price of the e-ink display though. $200?! I could buy a whole Kindle for that price.

Indeed! And with the help of PascalW's kindle-dash, I did just that with a leftover Kindle.

I made one recently with 7 color version of waveshare and it is a pretty cool project. It changes the picture daily or manually with a button. I will gift it to my mother after seeing how long it lasts with baterries, so far two months

Here is the video that gave me the idea https://youtu.be/YawP9RjPcJA
