The problems is that I am lacking hardware to run the screens. Freescale makes a display card, but it only runs a single screen. The card is also expensive. Quite surprisingly e-ink themselves have not been helpful.
Buy surplus, sometimes broken, Kindles for use as the driver hardware.

Try a web search, as in:
