From Julien on Hackaday.io:
ice40 FPGA based custom board to control eink display
The design files and source code are available on GitHub:
julbouln has shared the board on OSH Park:
Here is a video of the project in action:
Test with a homemade WIP epub reader, using ifusb interface ~ 1 fps

E-ink displays are awesome. Humans spent centuries reading non-backlit devices, and frankly it’s a lot easier on the eyes. But have you looked into driving one of these critters yourself? It’s a nightmare. So chapeau! to [Julien] for his FPGA-based implementation that not only uses our favorite open-source FPGA toolchain, and serves as an open reference implementation for anyone else who’s interested.
