I did something similar with a first gen kindle. Some day it stopped working, I opened the enclosure to find a completely cracked-open kindle with a battery the size of a weather balloon inside. This was about a month after I returned from a six week trip during which I kept that thing running. Reminder that a lot of battery-powered devices really don't like to be connected to power all the time.

How are the colors of multiple calendars rendered? ( can one be cross-hatched and the other black? )
When it comes to the layout, there is definitely a lot that could be done, that hasn't been implemented yet. I am always working to add features but of course there are always more ideas than time. :D
(For example, I recently, I added the option to display the calendar vertically:

It's not a touch screen, it's fully passive. A touch screen might be cool, maybe for a future version... but it would drive up the price. From a product perspective, I wonder if people wouldn't rather pick up their smart phone if they want to look at their calendar more deeply. I don't think the device should try to compete with the smart phone, it can only lose.
Thanks! Everybody will have their opinion, 100% :) FWIW: In family scenario, being able to quickly check next week (a simple scroll), can be very beneficial as we plan our kids activities etc (but I understand you don't want to overcomplicate it, and everybody has "just one more thing it needs":). I'll have a chat with my wife on whether it's something she would use as currently is; I'll be happy to share feedback ei…

Oh man, glad you’re still going. For some reason I remember you getting a ton of critical feedback last time this was posted - glad you’ve persisted. Keep on my friend.
Hi OP! You're writing > I use FBInk on the kindle to display the images after curling them from a API Gateway. I am the founder of this smart screen product: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale... Curling an image is the same approach that I use for my e-paper smart screen as well. It should be quite easy to bring your dashboard to my device... maybe we can work together on something? My emai…
The crispness of e-ink is 99% of what makes me want it for semi-static displays. It’s just ridiculously satisfying to look at.
More than any other piece of technology I own - phone, laptop, watch - my Kindle makes me happy. A big part of that is the display and it's paper-likeness.
I’m getting into having more purpose-built gadgets even if they seem to 70% overlap with each other.
Reading a book on my phone or tablet just isn’t the same.
