If you two are serious about this, you'll defintely want to check out Technology Connections' series on e-ink: (quick intro): this video (starting the breakdown): link He talks about that exact concept and moves on to do real-world testing and setup of a very specific tablet usable as an external display. It's exactly as you say: Hacky and unpolished. But I found it extremely informative.
