fread.ink is an open-source operating system for electronic paper e-book readers based on the popular Debian GNU/Linux. Why are these devices interesting and underutilized? How have problematic laws like the DMCA impeded progress and what did it take to get a modern GNU/Linux system working on one of Amazon's devices? This talk will attempt to answer these questions and show you how to start hacking your own paper display devices using fread.ink.
