“Quite an impressive little display, though the saturation is less than you might think - if you imagine everything's going to be painted by Georges Seurat you're pretty much there.
Pretty simple to use with the python library, and it's very easy to fit.
Knocked a star off because of the lack of saturation, updates make the entire screen flash many different colours, and the fact it takes ~40-45 seconds to update from an rPi0. It's completely fine for geek in-home usage, but it lacks a bit of polish if you're looking for a one-stop info screen.
What I'd really like to see on the next version is (much quicker) partial screen updates, a quicker overall update time and slightly bolder colours.”
“A beautiful little display, the eInk looks gorgeous. A Pi Zero (when I finally got one) and some shonky Python and it now gives everyone the current weather conditions from our NetAtmo, the weather forecast, an overview of the family calendars and a little motivational boost (apparently my hair looks fab today) at a glance.
The buttons are great too. I've already set one up to pull a random xkcd and am trying to think of nifty things for the others.
As noted elsewhere, the colour can look a little washed out but turning up the saturation sorts that out, and the refresh is slow (fun to watch at first, but the novelty doesn't last long!) so it's no good for projects that need a regular refresh.”
