I get that it is not showing because the app is not aware of the device being eink, however, I was looking for the developer options menu but it's not showing to me. What do I need to do so that that menu appears.

You need to be on the file manager, not on the reader. Then go to Tools -> More tools -> developer options.

Yes. It is easy if the driver is already supported and you just need to register your specific device to use that driver. In that case:
https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/8482
But hisense is not one of the supported drivers. Assuming your device has an AllWinner SoC you might want to read
https://github.com/koreader/android-...her/issues/344
There's no guide for writting new drivers, but the link above contains links to previous driver quests with a happy end
It usually requires you to reverse engineer the part of the framework that does the calls to drive the EPD and document how it behaves under stock.
The only help we can provide happens **after** your work. We write a new driver based on your documentation, do a test build for you and you can check if it works correctly following the guide for supported drivers
New drivers are always a good thing. We have 4 drivers with a few variations and those work on a bunch of devices. A new driver for AllWinner SoC would probably be useful for 10+ different devices.
