Good questions!

Sadly, I cannot answer either of them. I would assume the battery is replaceable with some effort, and I have no idea about the screen. Considering these are currently pre-order devices releasing in small production-runs, I would imagine sourcing replacement parts would be taking it apart and searching Ali for the part numbers. That said, "where there's a will, there's a way".

I have not attempted disassembly, but there are two very tiny torx screws on either side of the USB-C port. My assumption is that removing those allows the casing to slide apart. Perhaps when I'm feeling brave enough, I may take a peek inside and document my journey with some photos.

There also doesn't appear to be an iFixit teardown yet, and a cursory internet search didn't reveal any galleries of the juicy innards :(

More apt, but doesn't quite have the same ring to it lol.

Thanks, and yeah, that's my hope.

Android, without significant modifications, just doesn't seem suited to e-ink right now. Unless it's buried and I haven't found it yet, there no longer seems to be the "Reading Mode" I used to have in my Android 9 / Lineage 16 devices that would put the whole UI into greyscale mode. I feel like that would help the experience greatly on e-ink displays.

Wasn't expecting a dad joke, but I'll take it.

"Unexpected item in bagging area. Help is on the way."

I've thought about doing this in my basement rec room to make it feel more "open". Plan is to take a couple spare flat screens I'm not using, build a wood window frame around them, and put some curtains over them to further sell the effect.

Just haven't figured out a way to drive them besides sticking a raspberry pi on each one. That would also let me make them "real" windows if I want to feed in the camera views from outside.

If I indulged my terrible impulses, I'd probably be laughing to myself and saying "Yeah, how do you like it?"
