There is a good reason e-ink technology has been around for as long as it has. It may not be as responsive as a regular LED display but consumes a lot less energy, which means devices powered by it last a lot longer. You can also easily integrate it into your own projects. Take the Inkplate 13SPECTRA for instance: it is a 13″ display with 1600x1200p resolution. It can run for months on a single charge unlike a regular tablet. It is powered by an ESP32-S3 so you can easily program it with Arduino or MicroPython.
The Inkplate 13SPECTRA has an open source approach. The developers are going to offer full schematics, KiCad board files, and documentation. They are also working on supporting ESPHome. This e-paper display has a microSD card slot for your data. It has power and wake buttons. It uses a Spectra 6 display with 6 colors.
