The tiniest e-reader in the world, and you can build one yourself

What's really nice about tiny e-readers is that you can read without having to move your eyes horizontally.

If there are only four words per line, you can slide your eyes down the middle and take in all the words in a chunk like you would for normal speed-reading.

I have an xteink X4 and X3 and I swear I can read for much longer without strain. You can also just crank your margins way up on most other e-readers.

Agreed, the x3 is incredible. You'll pay 2x what this costs but the ux is phenomenal with Crosspoint

Is it really worth the tradeoffs of having significantly smaller storage space, reduced screen size, and clicking through way more often, just to not have to move your eyes as much horizontally?

I feel like this article was made for me specifically because I have a handful of Waveshare ePaper HATs for the Pi Zero that are currently sitting unused, they have standard GPIO connections in addition to the HAT interface that I should use along with an ESP32, because battery life would be much more important than running a full linux install for this!

My current e-reader is an Openbook Abridged designed by Joey Castillo of Oddly Specific Objects. It is larger than this tiny device, but smaller than something like a smartphone, and I think it is the PERFECT size. It's a similar kind of device which actually has even less features than this O24. I love it so much, and have been reading so much more than I used to since I soldered the kit together ~6 months ago.

Is this actually out? I saw him with demo units at Supercon last year. I would love to get one
