Crowdfunding begins for Open Book Touch, an open source eReader

The Open Book Touch is an eBook reader with a small, front-lit E ink display, a microSD card slot for storage, and support for EPUB and TXT files. But what really makes it different from most eReaders is that it’s a fully open source device with unusual (for eReader) features like a user-replaceable battery.

Not only does it run open source firmware that can be inspected and modified, but […]

@gienion @frebelt @campact @bjoernsta #Openbook / #Okuna / #Openspace war eine nette Zeit mit vielen interessanten Menschen. Leider hat das Modell nicht abgehoben und war durch den Mangel an Integration auch von vornherein stark limitiert.

#Somus hatte schon nicht mehr viel mit dem ursprünglichen GEdanken zu tun, es sollte ein Plattform werden, auf der Contentcreator ihre Inhalte vermarkten können sollten.

For a short moment I thought that the #Openspace project (formerly know as #Okuna and #Openbook) has come back to life and is on a good path. The promise sounded good, integrated into the Fediverse, no tracking, ads, whatsoever. Right until I tried to open the link in the invitation mail and was greeted by uBlock which found a tracker in the link.
*Sigh*
Nonetheless here is a shoutout to my friends from good ol' Okuna times ;-)

The Art of Pivoting - Techniques for Intelligence Analysts to Discover New Relationships in a Complex World

This open source book explores how intelligence and cyber-security analysts can uncover hidden links between threat actor infrastructure and ongoing investigations by pivoting on both classic and unconventional indicators — many of which are often overlooked. The material is grounded in empirical, field-tested strategies used in cyber-security, digital forensics, cyber threat intelligence, and intelligence analysis more broadly.

I released the first version of this book following the @firstdotorg CTI Conference 2025 in Berlin, where the initial idea for the project emerged.

Open Book Touch is a full-featured, open source eReader (crowdfunding soon)

Oddly Specific Objects founder Joey Castillo has designed a couple of interesting open hardware projects over the years. Those include the Sensor Watch and Sensor Watch Pro, which replace the PCB in a classic Casio wristwatch with a new board sporting a bunch of sensors that add functionality. But Castillo’s first attempt at making open source hardware was an effort to design an open source […]

There is still a lot to be done. But the idea behind it is to be an Open Book that introduces the language by solving small projects, in a similar style to the famous "Python Chrash Course" book from Eric Matthes. #opensource #book #openbook #programming

I'm happy to announce "Introduction to Zig: a project-based book" as my next work, which is under active development 🥳🎉🎉🎉. This is a book 📖 about the Zig programming language, which is a modern, general-purpose, and low-level language 🧐. #ziglang #book #openbook #opensource

I'm about to go on a long train ride and I threw together a case for the #OpenBook using thin craft wood.

Something very satisfying about a #diy case for a diy soldered board, with open hardware and open documents.

Okuna ist als Openspace wieder zurück. Noch ist alles ganz klein, aber es macht viel Freude die gute, alte App wieder zu sehen und zu benutzen. Eine Reihe alter Gesichter sind auch schon angekommen. Falls jemand Interesse hat, ich habe Invites!

Hello Fediverse! I would like to create an online #OpenAccess textbook, but I'm wondering which tools to use. My constraints are: transparent programming language (most coauthors are not expert programmers), direct export to #epub, and possibility to include audio and video. Any advices? From what I have read one option seems to be #GithubPages with #markdown? Does anybody has experience with that?
Boosts welcome! #github #ebook #openbook

Ich habe mal zu den Erfahrungen mit schriftlichen ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Prüfungen in den letzten Jahren gebloggt:

@joeycastillo that's not an #OpenBook...

THIS is the OpenBook:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_OpenBook

i am pleased to inform you that i am back on my bullshit. #openbook

Playing with the #OpenBook. The code is still alpha so there are still some bugs (right now the pagination files are a little wonky, but code is actively being developed so i'm sure a resolution will come soon.)

@joeycastillo thanks so much again - this has been a delightful project.

Classic design error!

I forgot that I needed to mirror my design, since this would need to flip around to hold the Open Book.

Luckily I discovered the error mid print. I was able to take what had already been produced and test the size of the opening. It was a "perfect" fit, but in my design I have decided to add an optional battery case cover, so I've expanded the hole a little more.

Attempt, learn, iterate. :)

What *did* print looks pretty darn good, I have to say.

#3dPinting #OpenBook

While I wait for the Raspberry Pi Pico to arrive, I'm designing a 3d printable case for the #OpenBook.

I'm trying to remind myself: start rough, start blocky, and THEN, once I'm sure that the board fits, streamline and complexify.

My setup for #soldering the #OpenBook. I'm crouching next to a tiny table we bought for my son when he was 4. The chair matches.

Using this comical set up in our house's sunroom instead of my workshop because I still haven't figured out how to properly ventilate the space.

I learned my lesson from last time and have lightly taped down the board so it doesn't move while I work on it.
