Hi, my laptop has only one HDMI port, and it has no VGA port. The HDMI port is already occupied by Dasung Paperlike pro.

Is it possible to have two e-ink monitors as extended displays [not as duplicates], by connecting Boox Max [either Max Carta or Max2] on USB? Has anyone actually tried this with success?
If so, does this two e-ink monitor solution only work with Max Carta [Because Max2 requires a HDMI connection presumably in monitor mode, which wouldn't work in my case since it's already occupied]?

I have a severe dry eye problem and cannot look at LED or LCD displays anymore. Just one e-ink monitor is too small of a visual workspace for a programmer.
