Exactly, I agree wholeheartedly. There is a limited amount of granularity you can get with using colors. Incidentally, I'm also messing around with tiny displays now. - https://www.dropbox.com/s/r5993ylrqmjoegn/screentest.jpg?dl=...

Very cool. What I've been really searching for is a large e-ink display. I'd love to do a RaspPi powered "cork board".

Oh nice, not sure how large you're thinking but if it's under 6 inches you could probably get one decently cheap from Alibaba(the Chinese Amazon). I think the larger displays (10 inches+) were only manufactured for special use cases like the Kindle DX hence the limited availability. Cool idea though!

That looks neat. I honestly just used a standard wall mount display. ;)
