Show HN: E-Ink Day Schedule
Instead of using a cronjob you can put the device into sleep and use the RTC to schedule the next wakeup (see [1]). This takes only very little power, as the device is only turned on for mere seconds and sleeps the remaining time.

CutiePi – thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
The stopgap solution for this is pascalw's kindle-dash[1]. I set it up on my jailbroken kindle and now it displays some headlines, my google calendar events, and the weather (via OpenWeatherMap API)

We built a word clock for you r/kindle :)
This thread or this project might be what you're after. The first is a full screen browser, the second is replacing the screen saver image and going into sleep mode.

Show HN: QueryCal – calculate metrics from your calendars using SQL
Hey HN, I built this project because last year I did a terrible job of actually taking time off work and needed a way to see just how overdue I was to take a day off.
Because so much is already automatically tracked in my calendar (e.g. the HR system adds calendar events for booked holiday), I just needed a way to query it to get the metrics I wanted.
Originally I used a Go MySQL implementation to evaluate queries but it was a bit buggy and didn’t support all the SQL I wanted. Now I’m using a full SQLite database for each user so you can really do some gnarly queries (recursive CTEs, window functions, the works).
Personally, I’m using QueryCal as a Grafana datasource to power a dashboard that’s displayed on an old Kindle on my desk (using this great project: https://github.com/pascalw/kindle-dash).

Feedback Welcome: I am developing an e-paper calendar as a consumer product
You will have to compete with much cheaper ideas like this kindle-based dashboard https://github.com/pascalw/kindle-dash

Show HN: Low-power Kindle-based dashboard
In addition to the power efficiency, one advantage of an e-ink screen is that it does not illuminate a room at night. And interestingly, a Kindle or similar device still seems to be the cheapest way to get a touch-enabled e-ink display of a reasonable size.
FWIW the Kindle Paperwhite also has an Experimental "Beta Browser" that can display websites and execute some JavaScript - I am using that for a similar project, a basic dashboard / light switch web application hosted on a Raspberry Pi.
