"Diptyx's form factor is instantly familiar and comforting. Two 5.83-inch e-ink screens open like a hardcover book, displaying two pages at once and closing to protect the displays without requiring a separate case. The device is slim, lightweight at 300 grams, and portable, making it perfect for reading on trains, planes, or curling up at home. The modular case, visible screws, and user-replaceable SD card and batteries make repairs and upgrades easy for anyone comfortable with basic tools."
"Most e-readers lock you into one screen, one store, and one way to read your digital library without much choice or flexibility. For book lovers who crave the feel of a real book, the freedom to own their library outright, and the ability to repair their devices without manufacturer permission or expensive service plans, mainstream options from Amazon and Kobo can feel frustratingly limiting and restrictive."
Diptyx is an open-source, dual-screen e-reader with two 5.83-inch e-ink displays that open like a hardcover book and show two pages simultaneously. The unit is slim and light at 300 grams, closing to protect screens without an external case. Modular construction, visible screws, and user-replaceable SD card and batteries enable easy repairs and upgrades, reducing electronic waste and extending lifespan. Powered by an ESP32-S3, the device runs custom open-source firmware primarily for EPUB files, supporting USB-C uploads and font and margin adjustments. Format support is currently limited to EPUB, requiring conversion for PDF, MOBI, or other formats.
