Not directly, but you could export the framebuffer device over wifi and "view" the screen on any other device that would know what to do with that data. You'd have to modify the firmware to that effect, so you must know your way around Linux at a low level, I guess.

I don't know if a mod like that exists, it would be the reverse of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiUEdmR5Vxg

Of course, it kind of defeats the purpose for reading...

I'm actually working on something similar, a RemoteControl mod that allows to do page flips using USB cable, magnet sensor, power button, or over wifi in a web browser. Not sure if I'll export the entire screen via the web browser… also not sure when I get around to it.

Can it be connected to another not touchable screen? Even e-ink? Even if I loose the light or something else?
Using screens of other devices is usually not possible. Even if you find one with the same technology/resolution, the connector will likely be different, as well as the cable (location of the connector within the device).
