I Built a Tiny E-Reader

I wanted to find out if it’s possible to build a tiny, fully functional e-reader completely distraction-free and small enough to carry everywhere. So in this video, I’ll take you through every step. From understanding how e-ink works, to designing the case, solving the button mechanism, writing the firmware, and building a wireless upload system. 🧠 Want to build your own?
