How much did the hardware cost? Is e-ink still super expensive?
It’s not bad! This is the display I’m using: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/5.83inch-... You can use any raspberry pi to drive it (or any microcontroller really) which is pretty cheap too.
I don't know how far away that is from (1) looking as good as color print (2) being relatively sturdy (3) being under $300 so I can buy several.
I got rid of all my books at one point and at the time I'd wished I could have scanned all the art books (didn't have the time to arrange it)
The compliments from friends/family have been insane. It looks like I cut out the page and put it on the wall. Unfortunately the Visionect solution is fairly cost prohibitive and seems like ArtFrame is in the similar price ballpark.

That's interesting the three color thing didn't know that was a thing

Eink is just really expensive right now. I believe that it’s heavily patented and only one or two places produces the panels.

It has been a great way to subtly discover new art.
As everyone has said, eink is amazing - but the price is ridiculous.
I also tried to build this myself, and nothing happened but my Raspberry pi started to overheat
I was moderately excited when I saw the photos, but wow those prices! 900 € for a 13 inch screen? For comparison, you can get a 55" Samsung Frame TV for cheaper than that. Digital photo frames are under $100. I like e-ink, but not that much.
