$71, 4 inches, 640x400 res, and has 30 second refresh time. Seems like a big yawn to me.

Tidbyt fits the bill for me. It's more expensive ($179), but it's a super polished product. It has all public transit for the main cities in the US, plus tons of other handy apps (stocks, weather, etc).

But isn't E-ink. I don't think people were just looking for any display when they're discussing e-ink

Granted it's not an impressive e-ink display, but it's a complete all-in-one kit powered with a Raspberry Pi Pico and has 5 tactile buttons. So you're paying for the kit as a whole, not just the display.
