The dual-screen e-reader feels like actually reading a book, recreating the sensation of open pages while offering digital convenience. It unfolds like a traditional volume, with two synchronized E Ink displays that show left and right pages simultaneously. Swiping on one screen flips both in unison, delivering the depth and flow of a physical reading experience without the bulk of paper.
Powered by an ESP32S3 chip with 512KB of internal SRAM, up to 8MB of external PSRAM, and dual 1300 mAh batteries, this DIY design remains slim at just 16 mm and delivers impressive battery life. An integrated SD card slot stores your library, while E Ink’s low power demands promise weeks of uninterrupted reading on a single charge. It’s a compelling experiment in form and function, offering a tactile, efficient reimagining of how we interact with digital books.
