Open Book Touch: A Pocketable, Open Source E-Reader for Every Language

Open Book Touch: open-source e-reader

After six years of development, I am thrilled to introduce Open Book Touch, a compact, front-lit e-reader designed solely for reading. This completely open-source device features a 4.26-inch touchscreen, supports EPUB files, and renders dozens of writing systems with proper typography. Powered by an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, it offers a distraction-free experience with no browser or notifications, allowing you to carry a library of the world in your pocket.
