Could you build this?
No This is a physical consumer electronics hardware device produced by Amazon requiring custom industrial design, E-Ink display controllers, hardware manufacturing, and firmware.
What it would actually take: Building an e-reader requires custom PCB design, sourcing E-Ink Carta electronic paper displays, hardware tooling for aluminum chassis, and embedded Linux/firmware development with power management optimizations. It requires a complete supply chain, factory assembly, and regulatory compliance (FCC, CE). A multidisciplinary hardware engineering team and massive capital investment are necessary.
