I have a similar setup at home with an M5Paper[1] to display a daily screenshot of my homeassistant dashboard. It's a neat little device based on an ESP32 chip with an e-ink display and some sensors.

I never thought about using a Kindle, even though I have an old jailbroken Paperwhite... It fits so much better for this usage, and would certainly have saved me days of working around hardware limitation.

I have thought about doing a similar setup for an in-home dashboard with HA and possible some other widgets, but would really like a larger option. Even a Kindle DX would be better, but getting one of those is still several hundred aud. Are there larger consumer-accessible e-ink displays, or is that kinda it?
