Is that an eBook with custom software and a frame? The price point is indeed very tempting.

The screen is off-the shelf, but the rest is all custom, including the PCB that's driving the screen, the wooden frame and the brass back plate.

Quick question: brass looks fantastic but on a back plate..? Why that material choice? (I’m sure there was a good reason, just curious)

Plastic is actually more expensive in small numbers… and I want the thing to have a bit of a low-tech, retro feel. Plastic wouldn’t work for that.
