Plenty of specific Pi shield eink panels. Probably without touch, but I didn't look. So you need interactive?

Here are two. There are others on that store.

There are other suppliers. I've bought a replacement Kindle battery, but otherwise I have no idea how good or reliable they are. Took about 5 weeks to arrive.

Note a lightweight USB keyboard cover for a phone/tablet is about $10 and superior to enter shopping list items. Cover can be cut off. Or a larger USB 78 keyboard about 8" is about $9.

Or buy a Kobo and you are on your own vs a Raspberry Pi. Power isn't an issue as the fridge needs power.
