I wish someone would turn or hack a cheap $20 or $30 5 inch or 4 inch lcd digital photo frame into a ebook reader for text and rtf files.

Ideally it should have 4gb storage from a sdd card with a long battery life or the option to turn the backlight off.

A lcd displays don't consume much power this could extend the battery life.

Ebook readers like the amazon kindle and sony ereader cost as much as a laptop at present.what a rip off.I mean $250 to $400 for a ebookreader.
I don't want to pay that much on principle.

Even a mini netbook is unsuitable for ebook reading due to the short battery life.
A low power low cost photoframe would be ideal.

I am surprised that no one has done this hack.The focus seems to be turning photo frame into video displays for which they are not really designed due to their poor frame rate.

They would are more suited to be ebook readers.

Anyone up for this challenge?

Ripped out the monitor form an old laptop. I have done some research and the problem is the lcd controller. Not only is the LCD controller $200 but the monitor also needs some fine tuning by the manufacturer to be compatible with the LCD Panel. The totalling cost quoted to me by earthlcd.com came out to be over $300 for which I could by a brand new 17" inch panel with a corresponding controller. You have any advice on how to find a low cost LCD controller for a panel. The panel that I have is a IBM LCD panel (ITUX97E). First one to find me a solution get's a cookie!

The frame isn't centered on the wall, and it's tilted! I’m pretty sure he put the LCD on the wall and took the photo before his wife found out. The frame isn’t centered on the wall, and it’s tilted!
