Own Your Device, Own Your Books
Diptyx runs on custom, open-source firmware designed specifically for reading eBooks. Simply upload your digital books as EPUB files through the USB-C connector, and start reading.
It features no form of DRM, allowing you to read books from any digital bookstore, as long as they are in EPUB format.
No internet connection, accounts, or cloud services are required.
The Diptyx firmware lets you personalize your reading experience: upload custom fonts, adjust margins, and set line spacing, all through the built-in settings menu. In addition, users are free to modify the source code itself: add Wi-Fi functionality such as an RSS reader, create unique custom games, or make an offline Wikipedia backup, the limit is your own imagination.
Simple construction, made to last.
