    Earlier versions of the Micro Journal had small LCD displays, but the Micro Journal Rev.7 uses a LilyGo T5 ePaper display with an ESP32-S3 drive board. The screen is a 4.7 inch, 960 x 540 pixel greyscale display with low power consumption… and a low screen refresh rate.

    A 4.7" seems way too small even for a portable word processor. A 7" or 8" would be much more comfortable.

    I have no use for a device like this, but I really appreciate the design and attention to detail. It’s so cool to see people rejecting cynacism and making cool shit!
