I’m in the market for a repairable FOSS e-ink tablet, as my pocketbook’s touchscreen has died, and it’s a glued together piece of trash. The manufacturer charges 2/3 of the price of a new one for the repair.

Got products or manufacturers?

    Looking for the same thing. I have one I love right now, but it will die and I will never buy a non self repairable ereader again.

    This is the best one I could find, but I think the dual screen design choice is plain wrong. I also like my screens a bit bigger and higher resolution, but on those issues I could be nudged. Not the dual screen design though. Although having options like these will pave the road for our next options :). Good luck with the diptyx, Martijn, (and you on your search for your next ereader)

    If you have a 3d printer to make a case, seed studio released a 7" color e-ink terminal with a built in esp32. Even friendlier is the Pimoroni Inky frame with a built in raspberry pi.

    Both around $100 USD.
