“Compared to the wHat, the update-time is a bit long (5-6 secs vs 3 secs). But still much faster than with color e-inks. So it is a good compromise.”

Ahoy there! Try this updated installer for Bookworm: https://github.com/pimoroni/inky/pull/182 (It's still a WIP so our software team would love to know how you get on).

“Very good, once you work out some of the quirks involved :) The biggest tip I can offer is that the "AUTO" type detect didn't work at all, and I had to use "--type ssd1608" to make it do anything at all. Documentation could be improved, hence 4*, but the actual display is excellent. The BLACK display updates in about 2 seconds, but the other coloured ones apparently take ~15 seconds, even if you're only using the black ink. Order accordingly!”

“The Initial one was seemingly DoA but Matt in support sorted out a replacement really quick. The new one works like a charm.”
