Why a used $25 Kindle beats any Raspberry Pi display you can buy today
A How-To Geek piece argues that a used, jailbroken Kindle (often under $25) can beat an official Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 as a Pi dashboard screen for slow-changing information. Its case rests on the Kindle's battery-powered, Wi-Fi-connected E-Ink design, which can be placed anywhere and stays readable in sunlight, and on the Kindle's ability to run its own fetch script, so one Pi could serve several units. The author concedes that the official display remains the better choice for color, touch, video, or fast refresh.
