I turned my Boox e-ink tablet into a photo frame, and it's the most unique smart device I own
The author transformed their Boox e-ink tablet into a unique digital photo frame, leveraging its black and white display and minimalist design for an artistic aesthetic. The e-ink screen's low power consumption and resistance to burn-in make it a practical choice for continuous photo display. Using a self-hosted Immich server and Immich Kiosk, the author set up a seamless, full-screen slideshow on the device.
- ▪The Boox Go 10.3 tablet runs full Android, allowing for diverse uses beyond reading and note-taking.
- ▪The e-ink display consumes very little power since it only uses energy when changing images, making it efficient for constant display.
- ▪The author used a self-hosted Immich server with Immich Kiosk to stream photos to the tablet via a web browser in full-screen mode.
