Hackable pocket E-Reader by u/unsuitable001

Hi, I'm u/unsuitable001 đź‘‹ I'm building a pocket-sized, hackable e-ink reader with a touchscreen, a front light and physical page-turn buttons.

Help me settle a few design trade-offs. It takes about a minute, mostly single taps. Up for a longer discussion? Let's have it on Reddit.

Page-turn buttons: front or side?

Waterproof, or as slim as possible?

Waterproofing makes it a little thicker (about 7 mm) and adds a few dollars to the price.

Which colorways would you buy?

Pick all you like. Only black or white is a perfectly good answer.

Does hackability matter to you?

Build your own accessories for it, or turn it into a dashboard, a smart-home panel or anything else when you're not reading. I'll provide all the resources.
