Using gmail has caused me no negative effects. It may not be ideal, but it works and has a reasonable set of tradeoffs.
I think it's more like renting vs buying or building from source vs compiled binaries than it is a crippling substance addiction which will ruin your health and relationships.
I don't have an exact need for it now, but once I have a project worthwhile I might pick it up.
I don’t really understand how it is still trendy to pretend that everyone uses Google for email and calendar. I get that the SF crowd was all about it, but if the last few years have taught us anything it is that there’s more to the techie world than VC free money startups. I reckon there are far more people who need this and who might buy this who are using Outlook/Office 365 either alone or in some combination than…

I'm using Office 365 myself, because I hate google's datamining but Microsoft isn't much better. The added benefit for me is that I work with M365 at work and having an unrestricted tenant for myself helps me understand it better (to see the options available that I don't have access to in the admin console at work).
But I don't know what else I'd use. I don't like proton very much as a company either (purely personal opinion), and I don't know anyone else that has good mobile syncing.
Have done the same with a rooted kindle... and you can get them for 20$ on the bay. The price really seems a bit high for a novelty item.
How do you serve your calendar on it?

I really want to do this with a pi zero w, but with a larger screen. 7.5” is barely larger than a door placard.
You can find waveshare panels that are bigger, 13.3" for around the price of that thing. They are not that hard to drive.
You may be able to get a larger panel for the same sort of price[2], but there's something to be said for having a finished product that's fundamentally plug-and-play... which is arguably a different market to a "buy the components and make one yourself" crowd.

Outlook is on the roadmap. But I felt like supporting .ics was more pressing.
