What was wrong with Remarkable2?
I have a Remarkable 2 -- it doesn't have a good SSH client nor supports an external keyboard, as far as I know.
I’ve chasing this dragon for years for the purpose of working outside; first trying to hack a kindle paper white, then using a Dasung monitor, then hacking a reMarkable 2. All were disappointing for a reason or another but I’m ready to try again with the PineNote. 4th time’s the charm, right?
Really? I've never understood why Amazon wanted white kindles, but this is the worst possible use case for one. Actual paper books aren't usable outside, because they give off too much glare in sunlight. Kindle solves that problem! Use one of the gray ones; they're better anyway.

This seens to be an unpublished, unfinished, unindexed document about a nonexisting product whose project status I am very confused about, yet the concept is absolutely intriguing.
So I'm pretty sure that someone has already designed something similar as open hardware that you could fork and customize. I'd start with Googling "kicad eink arm". From memory, the Watchy eink watch with esp32 comes to mind. And I think there are arduino epaper driver boards on Amazon, too.
I have been craving an e-ink laptop with a low voltage RISC processor for twenty years. It is impossible to open a normal laptop at night, after the kids have gone to bed, without becoming more awake than after a double espresso. I can't stare into a bright back lit screen at night. It often ends up with me sitting way to late up at night. At daytime, the often ridiculously bright back lit screen makes me unfocused a…
It can be used as an external monitor for your laptop or desktop via HDMI port according to https://onyxboox.com/files/manuals/BOOX_MaxLumi_User_Manual....
Screen Size 13.3 inch
Resolution 2200*1650
Is it actually good enough to do real work on? I don't know, but I would be willing to try.

Also worth noting though, from the manual linked above: "In the state of secondary monitor, the device is only user for monitor reading. Touch for operation do not work in this state."
