A DIY e-reader design replicates the physical experience of reading a traditional book by presenting two pages side by side. This innovative device, created by a Reddit user, incorporates an ESP32S3 chip for efficient dual E-ink screen rendering and features a slim design, folding to 16mm. The e-reader is powered by two 1300mAh batteries, utilizing E-ink displays that conserve battery by drawing power only during page changes. The two-page spread enhances the reader's experience, allowing for natural scanning and retention of information.
This DIY marvel opens and closes like a real book, giving you glorious left and right pages all at once. When you swipe one screen, both pages flip in sync, just like turning a physical page. It's powered by an ESP32S3 chip, folds down to a mere 16mm thin, and packs two 1300mAh batteries plus an SD card for all your literary adventures.
When you're looking at a single screen, you're constantly re-orienting yourself, mentally piecing together the narrative. This DIY project taps into that ancient, intuitive way we read, recognizing the physical form of a book, with its facing pages, is a crucial part of the reading experience.
The ESP32S3 chip packs 512KB internal SRAM and up to 8MB external PSRAM, plenty of muscle for smooth dual E-ink screen rendering without lag. Its deep sleep mode is fairly power efficient, drawing only about 5 microamps.
Paired with E-ink displays, which only use power when changing pages, you've got a recipe for incredible battery life. The creator seems to be using 4.2-inch panels at 400×300 resolution, giving you crisp.
