On a related note, I've been connecting the Max 2 via an external power source -- I guess you've been finding that a connection to a PC's USB port has provided sufficient power. Is that correct?
We probably need much less than OTG, sending a few packets is sufficient. Maybe just MTP is enough - which should be the default USB mode as you connect the cable.

Probably more like: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...er-and-capture

Powering the tablet is not a problem, you can do it through the same PC providing the desktop. (And with "Normal" EPD mode, and if you do not have those glitches that update part of the screen every heartbit, you may not even need to power it during operation: the device would discharge much slower.)
