Reminds me of when I loaded homebrew on my Nintendo DSLite like 20 years ago to turn it into a makeshift e-reader.
As far as I can tell from the webpage, the only format that can be used is non-DRMmed ePub. OTOH, ghod alone knows what ePub features are supported by the renderer though my betting is that it will not have ePub3 support. Italic and bold in the screen samples but whatever else is supported is unknown. The only chapter headers shown are left aligned though in my 5 copies of Alice in Wonderland, they are centred and the italic text at the bottom of the page is indented. See attached images. I do wonder if the clip-on light in the Diptyx image comes in the box.

One thing I find rather strange is that the thickness is 14mm folded and unfolded.

For me, the lack of search is a dealbreaker. I don't want to scan through multiple pages of books listed by author to find a book when I have multiple devices capable of using search to locate books.
