Has anyone played with the small e-paper displays being sold under the name Waveshare? They have an SPI interface. Some of them display two colors (black and either yellow or red).
Seems these are becoming popular as dynamic price tags for things in department stores. Hopefully that will bring the prices down.

I suppose the delay in updating these will be the largest challenge - use for a compass, speed, depth, or wind display would be a problem unless partial update of the screen could get this down to reasonable times.
Seems like using these in conjunction with an ESP32 or similar would probably be most practical for us.
