Hello Pazos,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I'm totally agree with all of your points.

However, I want to build the reader as a hobby.
I have some experience with linux, and want to learn PCB design.

I like this project:
https://hackaday.io/project/192688-the-open-book

However, it's not a linux device, so it not easy to use existing tools.
I want to do the similar project, but on linux.

I see that there is a generic framebuffer support, can I use it in my case?
https://github.com/koreader/koreader...fer_einkfb.lua

Regarding the SDL, I dont have much experience with it, but of course I can learn it.

The SDL module should be written as part of the koreader or as part of the linux in general. This part I dont really understand clearly. Do you have some examples maybe?

Thanks!
