On the Open Book GitHub I have collections of free books and short stories that are digital only from Tor.com. That’s actually why I wanted to get an eReader, digital only online short stories are winning Hugo Awards now, and then couldn’t decide and got involved with the Open Book is that I wanted a little device to load up with them.

For anyone interested our Discord is here! We’re a fun group of folks and have a couple of other projects. The project is mostly for fun and definitely centered around folks who are maybe trying to break into the hardware and software space with something tangible that they can use and show off, it certainly isn’t financially the best option out there but to learn and grow it’s great fun!

The case doesn’t need any special material so whatever’s cheapest usually works, especially if all you’re worried about is protection and not style. In face you technically don’t even need the case, the one I develop the firmware on is bare, but still, you shouldn’t have to spend more than probably $10 USD, maybe cheaper if you can find a local maker space to help you print it.

The one we use is about $15-$20 USD

You don’t need the know-how compile the firmware! It’s available to drag and drop from GitHub: https://github.com/nvts8a/libros
