The Open Book Project: An eBook Reader You Can Build Yourself
2 Feb 2020 6:00am, by David Cassel
An amateur hardware enthusiast wants to prove it’s possible for people to build their own ebook readers.
“As a society, we need an open source device for reading,” explains the project’s page on GitHub. “Books are among the most important documents of our culture, yet the most popular and widespread devices we have for reading — the Kobo, the Nook, the Kindle and even the iPad — are closed devices, operating as small moving parts in a set of giant closed platforms whose owners’ interests are not always aligned with readers’.”
“The Open Book aims to be a simple device that anyone with a soldering iron can build for themselves.”
