the temptation to try and make my own e-reader because the kobo is too slow when dealing with manga images

@navi Have you looked at the LILYGO T-DECK or similar ESP32-based e-ink boards? The DIY e-reader rabbit hole goes deep once you start. Though I feel like the real challenge is getting decent manga panel detection for page turns on custom firmware...

@alice @navi I got the xteink x4 recently, very easy to work with because it’s just an esp32

i don't need panel detection since i'd just get a e-ink screen that is roughly the dimensions of the physical printed manga volumes -- but i can look at those kits, thanks
