Interesting project. I actually like that the last image is 'imprinted' on the top part of the screen. It adds to the charm.

I haven't used anything like this, so I don't know much about it; however, the area where the clock and battery status are displayed puzzles me—isn't it affected very bad, or did you manage to hide the artifact lines?
Anyway, it is nice.[emoticon:c0a12e93d274496e82c557ae460d6b0f][emoticon:c0a12e93d274496e82c557ae460d6b0f][emoticon:c0a12e93d274496e82c557ae460d6b0f]

Spot on! That mindset is exactly what keeps the maker community going. Repurposing hardware and keeping functional gear out of the e-waste stream is always a win.

Definitely interested! I have an unresponsive Kindle I would love to put to other uses.

Nice project. We are engineers, throw away nothing :-)
