Quite easy to use a bare eink screen using a handful of GPIO pins, if all you need is pure black and white pixels. Gray pixels get complicated due to eink oil viscosity variations requiring timing adjustments.
I posted links to simple eink hardware interfacing in another thread ("
K1 Spelunking", I think). I will post them here when I find them.
Coincidentally, the original kindle is what we call a K1.
