Depending on what your goals are just adding a Bluetooth keyboard to an Android E Reader gets you 90% of the way there.

I dabbled in hardware and I quickly found you need millions to do anything.

However, this definitely is a market waiting for a product. I’d lean towards looking if you can add a custom screen to the framework laptop.

That’ll be much cheaper to build and easier. I reckon you’d only need a custom Linux driver for the screen.



Thanks for sharing! Agree, building hardware hasn't been the easiest thing.

Interesting, I like the idea of a custom screen on the Framework. I'm sure that may come with its own challenges as well :)


My main gripe with boox is their closed source bloated firmware and no ability to unlock the bootloader.
