We are going to build our own eBook Reader (like Kindle) using the Raspberry Pi with a custom OS image, books store etc.
I couldn't see anyone doing this online, so can't attach many sources. Kinda figuring this out on our own. I have quite a bit of experience with Raspi and electronics but want to take this as an opportunity to work with and teach my sister and a friend about hardware projects and RPIs.
Here are a few links for individual components though:
-
https://medium.com/swlh/create-an-e-paper-display-for-your-raspberry-pi-with-python-2b0de7c8820c
-
Order all the parts as listed.
-
Simultaneously, build the image and necessary softwares for storing, and managing the eBook files.
-
Assemble the 3D Printer and other accessories.
-
Develop the 3D models necessary for the project.
-
Print the necessary 3D files.
-
Load the developed softwares onto the Raspberry Pi.
-
Assemble everything together.
-
Voila!
