This is the sort of thing I'm interested in as well (it's a
brilliant idea).

I've also bought (pending through Crowdsupply) an Inkplate 10, a
recycled 9.7" e-ink screen, that seems to require an Arduino
interface for driving it. The device is still under development,
but from what I can tell you can connect via USB and use the
Arduino IDE for programming it. Here's an additional connection
option, which I don't yet understand but perhaps also relates to
Arduino: it "also supports Peripheral Mode, which allows you to
control your display by sending simple commands over UART." If
any of this has relevance to your presentation, Brent, it would
certainly be helpful for me.
