kindle-weather-dashboard VS Inkplate-6-hardware

You can also use the built-in web browser without jailbreaking Kindle: https://github.com/matopeto/kindle-weather-dashboard or my https://github.com/niutech/kindle-dashboard

I have my old Kindle displaying the weather through the built-in browser, using this code:

If you want to display something more, you could just self-host a page.

Someone's kindle weather display, just use this as a starting point and change graphics / information as you see fit : https://github.com/matopeto/kindle-weather-dashboard

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.

See also https://inkplate.io/, which is a Wi-Fi-enabled display made from recycled Kindles (GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/e-radionicacom/Inkplate-6-hardware)

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]
