kindle-display

Turns a jailbroken Kindle into a low-power e-ink status display driven by a self-hosted screenshot server.

Physical productfree

Kindle Status Display is a free, open-source project that turns a jailbroken Amazon Kindle into a low-power e-ink status display, defaulting to Bitcoin/Mempool network status, by pairing the Kindle with a self-hosted screenshot server that renders and refreshes a webpage on a schedule. It ships an optional Docker image with headless Firefox and cron for the server side. It targets makers and Bitcoin/Mempool enthusiasts who want to repurpose an old Kindle as a dedicated always-on display.
