I built an e-reader for my partner who is an avid reader and was experiencing discomfort from hours of repetitive clicking on a kindle. The e-reader connects to a wearable and can be controlled via motion. The project has had two iterations, with the main differences being the enclosure design and construction. The first iteration was completed in spring 2020 during the first COVID lock down, while the second iteration was in spring 2022. This repo. contains the designs for the second iteration (designed using FreeCAD), along with all the software for running it.

I have tried to document the development process, source code and CAD/CAM, in some cases this is really retrospective. If you are interested these are split between these pages. If you are not interested in the story then the software, CAD and CAM can be found here.

The project would have been impossible for me to complete without the OpenSource code created in the following projects:

• IT8951 Display driver
• Various bits of HTML parsing, inspiration for decoding EPUB
• Micropython for the trigger device
• Inspiration for powering the device one and off
• ulab for fast maths on embedded devices
