I have some docs on how to drive one of those spare eBook reader eInk screens from my reverse engineering adventure of PocketBook: http://linux-sunxi.org/PocketBook_Touch_Lux_3

I've mainlined the support for this PocketBook to Linux 5.7.

Though if I was doing this project I'd re-use the PocketBook board too, instead of building new HW to drive the screen. Driving the eInk signals on larger screens requires a very fast and precise signalling, and you also have to generate around 5 different voltages for the screen. And the board can already do that and the SW (bootloader, kernel) is all open source, so there's no downside. You could drop the RPI.

Wow, this is inspiring work that I wish I’d seen earlier.

Here’s my ipython notebook that I used to extract LUTs from an eInk dev panel [1] which eInk support declined to give us the LUTs for.

I’d stopped after I managed to display some images but I now I have a reason to revisit and play with the PocketBook Linux. Thank you!
