Dev uses ePaper tablet as a secondary display to save his eyes — gives second life to old Onyx Boox Air 2 by mirroring laptop screen

Crazed gamer plays Minecraft using a receipt printer as a display — crippling 0.5 fps frame rate not even the biggest drawback

Another advantage of VNC over Deskreen is that it lets him use the tablet as an input device. While he likely wouldn’t be able to use it as a sort of drawing tablet, especially because of the latency that older ePaper screens have, it’s still good enough for moving the cursor or even signing a document. While he could’ve purchased a standalone ePaper monitor for his needs, this small project is an ingenious way of giving a second life to older devices.

The Boox Note Air 2 launched in 2021, and while it’s still good enough for reading books, Onyx has since released newer models with color screens and improved performance. So, if you’ve recently upgraded your eBook reader and don’t want to turn your older device into e-waste, you can set up a VNC of your own and see how you can turn it into a secondary ePaper portable monitor for reading and other miscellaneous tasks on your computer.
