     @e Depends.
     
     Most e-ink screens that I know of require require proprietary software to display to the screen.
     
     You can reportably install BusyBox/Linux onto certain Kobo's now, but I'm not sure how proprietary it is.
     
     Pine64 has also released a ebook reader, but it's very expensive and extremely proprietary.
     
     You can get whole e-ink computer monitors that you just plug HDMI into, but those are extremely expensive.
