Of course USB OTG is useful, but as a replacement for SD-Cards it barely patches the absence: an SD-Card is more practical.

A device is for what I decide it to be. That concept, "is for", is weak to say the least.

I cannot figure out what you were trying to express, but (*) videos are acquiring accelerating importance in the didactic scene - not even yesterday was the last time the MIT uploaded a course, and (*) if I had the right software, I would be watching videos like there's no tomorrow on the Max2. The current state is, Floyd-Steinberg dithering is powerful for static and incorrect for animation - it is also evident on traditional screens, it makes them flash. I will be experimenting with dithering thecniques and video filters to see what is best for video on EPD. Because if you do not want to, nobody is forcing, but us the rest, we will do as we deem proper, thank you.

These devices do not strictly need an embedded GPS radio: they only need a phone with GPS, Bluetooth, the right software and maybe some instructions, like the ones I uploaded last year, and which you will have found as you searched before posting but forgot as you typed. This will probably remind you:



It uses GPS.
