I use my disused ereaders.
It was a B&N Nook Simple Touch (without any light).
I just updated to a B&N Glow 3 (6", black with buttons and front light).

I'm just saying that all ereaders come with tons of infrastructure already and you might as well use that as to look to Python as a panacea.

I'm using my own specific Android app, but it would be just as easy to write to the frame buffer directly on any Linux-based thing.

I use TCP forwarding over ADB so that I don't need to bother with WiFi.

Edit: And it doesn't even have to be rooted to have an app display.
