The project uses a serverless backend to collate data from external services and on the Kindle itself Rust code (cross compiled via docker) fetches and typesets the data into an image

If this is just a daily image, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just email the generated image to a non-modified Kindle on a daily schedule? It would require manually clicking 2 buttons every day to display it (Home > Today's Image), though presumably that side of it could be automated on the Kindle with much less modification.



Even easier, the Kindle has a web browser so you could just serve up an html page on your network and navigate to that, but that wouldn't be as fun or cool


This isn't just an image, mostly b/c I initially wanted to do everything on the device (and it uses a weird image encoding) but interacting with Google api's in Rust was a pin (at the time).
