Slightly unrelated to the OP but are there any e-ink displays today that are responsive enough to use for a basic command line Linux display? I really like the idea of having a device similar to think but with e-ink only to use as a minimal terminal - something like the MNT Pocket Reform but with e-ink...


If you're looking for a plug-and-play device, there are options from Waveshare, Boox and Dasung.

If you're willing to DIY, there's a great open source project called PaperTTY that works with almost any e-ink panel. Despite the name being terminal-focused, it also (optionally) supports VNC.


I use an boox air c with bluetooth keyboard.


MIP might be a better tech to use?


I use a Boox Leaf with a Bluetooth keyboard and it works fine, for this sort of thing.
