Has anyone done something similar before that you’re aware of?

Okay, this in its rudimentary form does work.
I have a Bluetooth keyboard for my Nexus 10, which pairs with the M96.
I then installed Writer from the play store, which is a very basic and light weight word processor, and it works wonderfully with the keyboard.
Things you'll need though:
* rotation locker - to make the screen landscape
* a Google dictionary, otherwise virtually every word is underlined as a spelling mistake
* A stand for the M96 while you type
As long as you can resolve these, you have an e-ink typewriter/word processor at your finger tips!
