These are pretty easy to DIY with something like the inky impression 13 (a spectra 6 display), a pi zero 2w and a tiny bit of python.
Haven't figured out a good coorless option but its a fun weekend project.

This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.
Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the ~~Kaleido~~ Spectra 6 screen is FAR from photo quality.
