New life to old Kindles (just the screen)?
They figured out the protocol for Kindle screens and designed a platform around them. The schematics and hardware design are on github as is the Arduino software, so if you want to play around with a screen you already have then that should supply all the info you need.

CutiePi – thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
The Inkplate 6 works pretty well - I am using it for my digital picture frame. The only disappointing thing for me is, that they haven't released the actual source files (Eagle, Kicad, etc..) for the hardware yet. [1]

Making your own e-paper dashboard for home from scratch
Nice. I'm doing something similar with a BOOX Mira 13.3" touch screen, Raspberry Pi Zero and a Gioui app for the user interface.
I'm building an expedition vehicle on the back of a Mercedes Actros 6x6 semi-truck. I'm using M5Stack ESP32 devices (flashed with esphome) to read all the sensors and control everything. I'm using a MQTT server as the messaging hub: the UI will read/write from that, and the ESP32 devices will subscribe to that for controls.
Here's my notes on getting the e-ink screen working full-screen with a Gioui app (without a desktop linux environment): https://github.com/dave/iot/tree/main/ui
It would be great to find a cheaper alternative (the BOOX Mira is $800 ouch!)
What are some alternatives?
