This is a bunch of stuff that you can order from Adafruit, so idk where Steam comes into it.

Also the screen is 5.83" which is a yawner. It's a drag that e-ink screens are still all so small. Wake me up when there's an affordable 14 inch one or larger, that doesn't take 20+ seconds to refresh. 1 second is tolerable. Motion video is not required.

    afaik it's very possible to make e-inks with 20+fps, but the microcontroller used to power the display isn't powerful enough. I'll link the yt vid if I can find it.

    found it: https://youtu.be/nHbA2-_qzH4

    it's a 60 fps colour e-ink display

    Yeah trouble is those use a lot of power, from what I heard. I'm satisfied with a usable e-reader that can flip pages at tolerable speed.
