This is awesome! I dug up my old 2nd gen Kindle in the hopes of following along, and sadly the battery is busted :(

Instead, I'm currently in the process of making a macOS screen saver to replicate this!

I'm blogging my updates at http://jamesliu.io/posts/macos-screensaver/

If you're lucky it will still run with USB power attached. Depending on where/how you want to set it up that should be an option.

I did the same with mine. When I found it again it was dead, but I left it laying on my desk with the USB cord attached (accidentally). When I dug it up again a couple days later it was up and running. It will shut down almost immediately when I unplug it.

It's displaying a rotation of various webcomics now.

Hmm I might have to give that a shot. Thanks!

YES! insta-star from me!

Thanks!
