I hacked my old kindle and turned it into a eink dashboard for my daughter’s school! Now planning to enahace it a bit further and make it easy to customise.

Here’s a a detailed write up of the process: https://samkhawase.com/blog/hacking-kindle/



Love these Kindle dashboards and thank you for the excellent write up. If you did anything notable with refresh rates and cron tab for battery life management (or if that’s simply unnecessary), that may be useful to note in the blog post. Given you’re monitoring frequent bus times, I suspect it may have come up.


Genuinely brings a smile to my face. And such a nice exposure for the kid.


Thank you for the kind words. I’m trying to get back into writing and such feedback means a lot to me.


Love it! Nice work
