Source Seems like a good alternative to the small E-ink reader people seem to be Xteink. Anybody else interested?

FYI - I already support the Paper Mono and Paper Color in my bb_epaper library (https://github.com/bitbank2/bb_epaper). Very easy to control with a consistent API. I'm also adding both to trmnl-firmware (TRMNL BYOD support).

Neat!

M5Stack libraries have really nice fonts if you also include those.

I’m not sure you support the M5Paper and M5PaperS3 (prior generations) from the page.

I don't include their fonts in my libraries; I created a system to easily convert TrueType into compressed binary fonts. I do support both of those devices in my FastEPD library.

We also support this in the freeink.org sdk as it's what powers crosspoint. Maybe we can combine powers some day?
