I love love love the DIY electronics scene but for a device that's meant to be held....I dunno. Ergonomics are usually an afterthought if considered at all. I can't imagine a DIY e-reader being comfortable to use

Note: NOT shilling for Amazon here, I will never buy another Kindle

As much as the idea is cool, that display is also horrendous for reading. I could absolutely see it as "good enough" for a lot of projects, but not an ereader. 400x300 isn't enough.
