Could you build this?

Partial The Kindle apps such as the WeChat reader and Doom are buildable with AI help. Firmware-level control, e-ink refresh tuning, and device-specific display drivers need embedded Linux expertise.

What it would actually take: Jailbreak the Kindle Voyage and set up a cross-compilation toolchain for its ARM Linux environment. Then write a custom e-ink display driver for the refresh modes and the reading and game applications. This needs embedded systems and e-paper hardware knowledge along with device-specific debugging.
