Thanks a lot for the ideas 0x6c616d70.

I did consider the screensaver one, it's just so inefficient (client and server) for this purpose as I'd want to be downloading a new screenshot every minute or so.

Interesting idea using Alpine, I guess this could be my fall back plan. I feel like this might come with it's own set of issues too as I'd need a way to periodically refresh the eink display etc.

I was really hoping that I could either get Web Launch working or build a mini WAF (if they're still a thing?). I had hoped that this was quite a common hack for the old kindles as they're so perfect for this kind of thing.
