You can probably adapt the code to drive this display, and it displays an image from a remote server, so all you need is an HTTP server and you can easily display whatever you want.
Or you can buy Soldered's: https://soldered.com/product/inkplate-6color-with-enclosure-...
How does this look in real life? 5.85-inch, 600x488 pixel electronic paper with the ability to display 7 different colors Does the dithering work well enough for a photo?
Don't see the advantage of eInk for a digital photo frame. Presumably these stay in one spot and can be left plugged in? Would think that a bright LED display would give much better picture quality.
I'm even pretty annoyed at spurious LEDs. I appreciate for example that Sonos speakers let you turn off their status LEDs. It just makes the ambiance calmer.
The exception is very interactive stuff like https://hackaday.io/project/190477-hyelicht where I used an LCD for the embedded touchscreen in the shelf, but powered down unless you touch it.

Wow! There's a dynamite product in here that pairs a daily nagging app and one of these displays so that people are reminded to take a new picture, ever day, and have it show up on someone's (or all subscribed) photo frame. I'm thinking, like, "take a photo of the kids so it will show up on Grandma's frame" kind of functionality. Though, obviously, it would also be used for porn, so there's a market there, too. Anywa…

I have built one by myself with a waveshare display. The dithering is visible and the contrast is bad. But from distance it is not noticeble.
