Framework seems to be on a great trajectory introducing repairable, maintanable and open-source supported hardware into different sectors.
One sector that could really use this kind of innovation is e-readers. There should be an alternative to the likes of kindle and komo (both backed by large marketplaces)
Dear framework team, please consider this idea for a future project.
+1 for this idea. I use a Nook to get access to stuff from Project Gutenberg mainly. I’d love to have an open source alternative. Especially one that allows me to replace the battery when needed, and take an SDCard to expand memory.
The Nook is decent, easy epub loads from Calibre, and I can keep it off the net for privacy/secuity concerns (B&N doesn’t need to know what I reading). Still, A Framework device with attributes mentioned above would be better.

I’m so shocked that there isn’t an easily producible, repairable open-source e-reader available… there was that project on hackaday a while back that looked promising but it seems to have gone nowhere.
100% support this …
