CutiePi – thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
It's just a Pi running ARM64 Linux.
The default OS image that ships on the devices has their own touch UI shell which currently runs on EGLFS, which is basically an alternative to X or Wayland meant for embedded devices. So as it currently stands you can't run normal Linux apps in the default OS.
They're supposedly porting it to Wayland which will allow normal Linux applications to run within their custom shell. Their shell is a relatively straightforward Qt Quick application so it shouldn't take a huge amount of work to port. Though the most recent commit was a little over a year ago[1] so who knows when it'll actually get finished.

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]
