- vikramkashyap made the instructable Literary Clock Made From E-readerView Instructable »
Made with a Nook Simple Touch and housed in a hollowed-out old book. Since the Nook doesn't have the tool eips that Kindle does to work the display, I had to write a shellscript that's triggered every minute by a cron job and replaces the screensaver with an image corresponding to that minute. Then it quickly wakes and sleeps the Nook to retrigger the screensaver. A little hacky, but it works great and doesn't use much battery! The power cord is routed though the back of the book. I may write an instructable about how to do this with a Nook in the future and post my code.
