After seeing the post yesterday about the e-ink weather display, I thought about how to do it with a kindle, since they’re (a) cheap and available (b) basically self-contained versions of exactly what parts are needed and most importantly (c) subsidize the high price of the display.

I pretty much came to this same design, although was thinking more about disabling the screensaver and (hopefully) finding a way to tap into the sleep/wake power controls so that the display would only refresh once per day or and hopefully consume a lot less power.

Cool to see someone beat me to it! Although I’m not too surprised.
