WI-FI solution
How about a WI-FI based solution?
It seem to me that physically connecting a keyboard to the kindle is going to be difficult. So why not use a WI-FI based method? The Kindles own browser could be used as the visualisation window, so no software hacking required. All you would need would be a host computer, something like a Raspberry Pi, which would serve, possibly in as similar way to Kranu's emonitor. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=148581, but with text only, which would allow for faster refresh time. |

Hi everyone. I'm still trying to get an e-ink device hooked up to a keyboard.
It's apparently possible with the Onyx Kepler (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywYzZuZmLjc). But I can't find a way to buy it at the moment (I live in the UK and France). The other android e-readers with bluetooth I could find are: * Onyx Boox C67ML * Onyx Boox T68 But I also could not find a place to buy these online. Also, as far as I can tell the Icarus Illumina (and its clones) are not able to power a keyboard through a usb otg cable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

2) Only the KT3 has Blue Tooth, and it is Amazon-Limited, no one here has been interested enough about providing the missing pieces for generalized BT usages. |

Then instead of just adding the HID modules, add module support for an entire (wireless - via dongle, not bluetooth) keyboard. For "good resolution" (a subjective) - you probably want a PW-3 And you had best buy it RSN - before they start shipping with 5.8.8 You need to stop day dreaming, get your act together, and make a purchase. Or - give up on the Kindles, go with a different brand. |
