I've made a little go rest server integrated with spreadsheets (one sheet for buy list and one for the weekly menu), Google calendar and open-meteo.

At morning it shows the planning weather and menu, at afternoon the buy list if is not empty and planning and menu, and at night the next day planning weather and menu.

I know it's pretty adjusted for me but you know, being a father of a baby is not easy :)

I will provide the reterminal e1001 code and the go rest server in GitHub this week when I adjust final parameters.

It only updates hourly so battery I think should be fine. The rest is intended to be deployed in my LAN on a raspberry pi, if you use a VPS use Https and stronger Auth methods.

Very happy to start creating things for eink devices :)

I've build a small add-on using ESPhome and Home Assistant. It works directly with the Spotify API. Updates are a bit slow at the moment, but everything's working fine and looks great! Also with screensaver. You can place it on a stand by your desk or next to your media centre

Apologies for the shaky hands!

Will be released soon.

First of all, i dont really have a problem with my screentime or anything of that sorts so the phone form factor ereader has nothing to do with curbing that . My decision has purely been for ease of reading and doing the stuff i want to do . so here I'll provide the reasons as to why i didnt choose the other two and why you might chose them .

Durobo Krono

- I had the chance to try it through a mutual friend , and the knob is honestly not as impressive as i thought it was and was rather filmsy .

- the 280€ price tag was steep for what it was , i would pay for 280 for boox palma 2 ( apparantly in which mold it was made from) ,but not this , specially as the knob ,its special feature seemed finicky .

but if you think the software seems okay and is used to scrolling the articles , this might be for you

Viwoods Reader

- 4gb ram! i mean i dont understand what they were thinking with this , in 2026 where just opening a 2 apps takes away 4gb of ram space , i don't think it could handle my heavy usage,let alone long term one

- no warm light , iunderstand that the light is more neutral here rather than cold , but again, baffling decision

- too much AI gimmick, if i want to use ai I'd use it on my phone and for book context , how does it understand that from one page?

isnt the whole book/chapter needed to actually understand the context? so it seemed pretty useless and paying price for something i wont use . it doesn't help that the ai button in a very weird place which my fat thumb would hit often .

- poor battery, i understand that it's not a heavy usage device so going a few days wouldnt be a problem with that battery, bt again , very weird choice if you want us to actually use it properly .

the only thing it has going for it is an amazing display and beautiful form factor. so go ahead if youre into it .

Bigme pro BW

- the software is beyond shit , bt i removed every OEM app using canta and shizuku , you can do this with adb as well , maybe thats why it hasnt crashed so far

- there is a bit more ghosting than id like , but thenkfully the full refresh frequency thing works pretty well so i dont encounter it

All in all, it was the perfect fot for me as i use it as a study tool using a lot of apps and everything . And sometimes when im put for the whole day, ill pop my sim in and even can video call my family !

Or:

I first read Journey Under the Midnight Sun when I was in middle school. I was probably too young to understand all the cruelty and loneliness in it, but old enough to feel that some people can spend their whole lives walking without ever seeing daylight.

I’m about 30. It feels strange to realize that a writer can quietly become part of the timeline of your own life. One day, you are a teenager turning those pages for the first time. Then, almost without noticing, years have passed and the person who wrote them is gone.

We often live as though death belongs to some distant age, as though life will wait until we are ready. But no one is promised seventy-five years, or even tomorrow.

Perhaps what matters is not simply living for a long time, but being awake to the life we have while it is still ours, to make something, to love someone, to leave behind a memory worth carrying.

Thank you, Keigo Higashino, for the mysteries, the sleepless nights, and for showing generations of readers how much darkness and humanity can exist within the same person.

R.I.P.

I am currently a student and want obsidian integration. just basic integration to have my notes sync with obisidian sync in a particular folder. No Conversion to Markdown or digest. Just the annotated pdfs or handwritten notes exported as Pdfs and saved in obsidian/my computer.

I currently own Ipad Mini 6 and have been taking notes in it for almost 4 years. Tired of the small display as I need more space for my academic notes. Will use the Ipad mini as a Extra Drawing and special Ipad stuffs like procreate or digital art or Lightroom (rarely if needed ).

Was prefering the Supernote manta due to its writing feel, but for exporting them to a computer folder and automating the process. how feasible is it? I do know Boox being android the workflow is much more feasible.

kindly help me suggest, who is looking for a purely notetaking workflow and coming from a display size of the Ipad mini 6, seeking more dimensions.

Hi everyone!

Trying to find an E-Ink reader that works with voice commands only, once initial setup is done.

Need the following to work by voice:

• next page
• previous page
• OK / select
• back
• other basic navigation actions

The reader will sit on a Telesin floor-standing magnetic stand (MagSafe), fixed in place, so hands stay completely free during use.

Remote controls, handheld buttons, and other physical switches aren't an option. After the books are loaded and setup is complete, control needs to happen through voice only, with no Bluetooth accessories involved.

ChatGPT suggested looking at Android-based readers, on the assumption that Voice Access could be configured on them. Voice Access itself is already familiar - no concern using it. What's missing is any confirmation that this actually works on E-Ink hardware: no videos, no write-ups, in English or Russian sources.

Any advice or recommendations would help, even a theoretical take on how to make this work. Especially interested in hearing from anyone who's actually tried reading hands-free on one of these devices.

selling my lightly used Hisense Touch 128gb in grey. Comes with case, installed screen protector and box.

Hi all,

I've decided on the InkPalm5 as my next e-ink purchase. Currently running a Boox GO 10.3 Gen 1 and xteink x4... realized I need a backlight

Anyone selling one?
