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.

A personal raspberrypi powered eink dashboard
epaper.js seems like an interesting java lib. I wrote something pretty similar, though based in python and fully modular, in case you‘re interested :D https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal

GB Renewable generation forecast (including Octopus energy agile tariff) display using Inky wHAT and Pi Zero
I saw you used Pillow to handle the same font with different hardcoded fontsizes, while it works pretty well for a one-off setup, it‘s not hard modifying the fontsize even on-the-go, e.g. as shown in one of my codes using an E-Paper display: https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal/blob/30a6f6499e34e8cf10d8b25d84b577f3c0443bdc/inkycal/custom/functions.py#L85 or if you’re interested in the full code: https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal

I created a little motivational quote bot in Python which displays random quotes throughout the day. Also, I made the case in Blender 3D and it is my first (successful) 3D print! Let me know if you want to see the code for this :)
