Big color ePaper is so fun! I've been wanting to do this for so long, and finally got around to it! I bought a regular picture frame, and a raw 8x10" ePaper Spectra 6 panel. It's basically as thick as a piece of thin cardboard. I cut a mat down to size for the 11x17" frame, cut a slot in the back for the controller. Now it hangs on the wall next to all the regular posters!
