Hi, I'm the project lead of MNT Reform, an open hardware laptop that just started shipping (link: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform)!

We would be interested in an e-Ink experiment. During the initial prototyping this was one of the options we considered, but back then it would have been prohibitively expensive and we decided to focus on an IPS display and to get to ship a viable product as quickly as possible -- with a tiny team.

Adapting an e-Ink display to MNT Reform would mostly be about designing/adapting the screen housing and introducing a signal path to an e-Ink driver: options could be MIPI-DSI, eDP, USB, or SPI, for example.

Edit: My email is [email protected] if you want to get in touch directly. We also have a community over here: https://community.mnt.re/
