Greetings libreplanet-discuss, I wrote a step-by-step instruction
manual for installing Parabola to the reMarkable tablet using only-free
software. The result is a 10.3" epaper---and I think this is the proper
word---notebook that runs a full X graphical environment, with fast
partial screen refresh. It works with USB OTG, and has a built-in EMR
(Wacom) and capacitive touch digitizers.

also put up a project page.
[2]http://www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/ I hope this inspires some
conversation about running Emacs in the sun. :) My own, biased, opinion
is that it's lovely in '-nw' mode with an external keyboard. Enjoy,

I'm delighted to see that people keep porting Parabola ARM to more
devices,
it makes every minute we spent on its development worth it.
If I were to buy an ebook reader, this might be the one. There weren't
(m)any
options compatible with free software before this, right? Not that I'm
looking
for one, but I remember the FSF's holiday-season ethical giving guide
asking
for an option to cover this area. Hopefully that might change for 2020.
On a side note, I also find it amusing that the same phenomenon
(electrophoresis) is used both in biochemistry/molecular biology for
detecting
stuff, say a DNA test, and for making ebook displays.
