I wish there was a self-contained e-ink 10 inch screen that would just sit on my network and accept URLs to display in sequence. Possibly with an equivalent to a Raspberry Pi 3 to SSH into.

I have one of these which is basically what you describe. Marketing materials focus on the Google calendar integration but you can also feed it images via a URL which it polls regularly.

I followed this guide and was able to do almost exactly that: https://matthealy.com/kindle
You could take a look at a project I recently made, it’s very easy to put together and run a server to do what you want!

can vouch for this one - i use it in a few places
You can get a kindle to display a self-refreshing webpage in the browser. Only issue is keeping it awake somehow.
