Quality of life update for the #eReaderHat Now fetching #ebooks from the #calibreserver is a background task so you can keep #reading as your #books download.

While the software is a mess I think the next step is making a similar carrier board for the #raspberrypi #CM4 form factor.

I'm also considering submitting this to the nostr:npub196qp059ct6svn3zjnkayllh6f552sehejrthc24e20wnt78ngsnsjm96ja prize for gits and shiggles. Should I?

You should absolutely submit it for this year's Hackaday Prize!

We need a fully open hardware and software digital book platform, letting Amazon handle it all is just asking for trouble.

You won't be alone either -- there's at least one other OSHW ereader in the running this year, the Open Book from nostr:npub1ac50lhz2meknkudj7chyl02076avfjsdvu7phsmadc6l2lqrn8hqy773s3
