It's funny: while I knew the new Open Book with ESP32 was working — it booted up as far as the boot screen, and our Focus UI framework was working well though to throw an error message about the SD card — I had not actually gotten the Libros firmware fully functioning on the new prototype. To be clear, I knew what needed doing — the TODO list was short, just two items long — but up until this morning, I hadn't made time to do them, and the prototype only made it this far:
Yes, if you look closely, there IS a MicroSD card in the card slot at the right; I just hadn't written the code to, y'know, deal with it yet.
